> How to make scilab open in a certain directory


it depends on how you start scilab, they are many ways to do it :

- if you want to start scilab by a click on some icon on windows then
create a shortcut pointing to SCI/bin/Scilex (*)   in the directory
where you want to start , then just click on this shortcut to start
scilab. You can also modify the properties of the shortcut to change
starting directory

- if you start  scilab from the command-line  use the -e option  and
'cd' , for example

scilab -e 'cd SCI'

this is equivalent to start scilab and then use "cd SCI"  in the
console.  be careful to quotes  to handle correctly  strings
representing paths.

(*) replace SCI by scilab installation directory, if you don't know this
directory type SCI in scilab console,
