I'm re-submiting the above article in reply to 
1990Dec15.082012.15782@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au (WfW initial diretory settings)

I think Program Manager is very weak in this area as well as in launching
files with un-associated extensions. APORIA 1.4 (Shareware available on cica 
and windows bulletin boards) can totally replace file manager and program
manager and addresses these problems and many others with an elegant object
oriented interface. Applications, directories, net drives, worksheets and
documents etc can all have icons (tools) created for them, which can
 then manipulated.
For example:
To open a Write document in WfW, drag the .wri file to the WfW tool.
To set WfW's default directory, drag WfW's tool to the directory tool.
To copy a file to another directory, drag the file's tool to the directory tool

This is just a taste of what it can do. I don't use program manager anymore
and I only as file manager for changing file attributes and connecting to
net drives.
