Guide for what the options are on the "$User" call...?

Hi everyone!

I'm not finding "$user" (minus the quotes) in the 3000+ page Salesforce Developer guide, nor am I finding it in this forum.  I know that certain calls can be made with the $User.ID, or $User.XYZ?  I'd like to know what a comprehensive list of those looked like so I coudl use them in a Validation Rule that I'm working on and just to have them for reference.  Any help appreciated!  They must be somewhere!

You can access most of all standard fields on user object. For example $User.Alias

Lol, just noticed that this was in the field insert function.  I think it's time for more coffee.  Can't believe I missed that.  =^D

Anyway I'm having trouble with the following validation rule now
  
AND(ISCHANGED(OwnerId), $User.ProfileId=00ed0000000W7uZ)
I don't want specific Profiles to be able to Change the Owner of a record, even if they own it.  However this AND function keeps on asking for more parathenesis.  I keep giving it more ")"s and        "("s but it won't be made happy. 

Any ideas?
