   Hi,

   Cygwin installation creates a shortcut that runs bash like this:

bash -i --login

   However, I would like to start bash so that after starting it would 
go to a specific directory. For instance, I would like to run something 
like:

bash -i --login "cd d:\users"

so that bash would start and then execute "cd d:\users" before the user 
starts typing anything. This would be equivalent to the WinNT command:

cmd /k "cd d:\users"

   Do you guys know if that's possible?

   Thanks,
   Maurício
