Not sure - if you could pass the working directory as an arg, then R can 
handle it from there - use the setwd() command.  What I usually do on 
Un*x-like systems is to cd to the directory first, then start the R run. 
  Something like....

cd "my favorite dir"
R --vanilla ...

Since you're already specifying the absolute path for Rterm, the above 
should work...

Cheers
