Hi all!

> How do I change my start up directory?

I got the following response:

> edit your entry in /etc/passwd.  It lists your home directory.


However, I don't understand how my system is working at the moment. This is
what I see at startup when do a "pwd":

Robert Mark Bram AT ROB ~
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/RATIONAL/RATION~1/NUTCROOT

Robert Mark Bram AT ROB ~
$

And this is the contents of my /etc/passwd:
Robert Mark Bram::500:544::/home/Robert Mark Bram:/bin/bash

It is such a strange start up directory - a folder for Rational Rose. When I
check my environment variables I find these two:

NUTCROOT=C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT

TERM=nutc

Does anyone know how I should fix this without changing my environment
variables?

Rob
