I have some bash questions for you all:

However, I cannot discover where to set the initial working

Try a
cd /path/to/wherever/i/want
in your bashrc or .bashrc
This won't work if you are executing your 'rc' file as a script that
terminates. The 'cd' only has effect for the process where it is
executed (and subprocesses).
The usual way to handle this is to treat the script as input commands;
for example, the following shows the difference:
Whether this will work at startup/login depends entirely on your shell
and the other startup scripts invoked. You could try to force it by
ending your startup script with the 'cd' command, followed by 'exec
/bin/bash'. If you do that, of course, you have to be wary of
recursion :-}.
