[GRASS-user] home directory for import files for grass 7.02 on linux

[Jim Maas]

I'm new to grass and running a newly compiled version of 7.02 on Ubuntu 
14.04 Linux.  When I start grass and then attempt to import a vector or 
raster file, it begins looking in my ~/ directory.  It would be much 
more convenient if I could tell it to start looking in a subdirectory 
where I'm working.  Is there a setting somewhere to change where the 
"import raster data" file browser starts looking ? I'm thinking 
something analogous to a "home" directory?

Thanks

J
