If you run [g]vim by invoking it at the command prompt (be it the prompt
of a Unix shell such as sh, ash, bash, csh, tcsh, ksh, zsh, ... or of a
Dos/Windows shell like command.com, cmd.exe, ndos.com, 4nt.exe, ...), it
inherits whichever directory was current when you typed the command.
If you run it by clicking a desktop or system-tray icon, then either the
icon properties specify a starting directory (and you get that) or they
don't (and you can get anything).
Best regards,
Tony.
