It may be disgusting, but I'm not how you expect R to know where to startup.
On my Mac, I keep all my scripts in a per-project working directory. I therefore type cd ~/Documents/ataxia If you have multiple nested directories then why not create a directory alias (soft-link) so it is easy to "cd" to? Or move the relevant folders to a better place? Alternatively, use the Mac OS X GUI, which has an option in preferences about "initial working directory".
