How to do the same with console2 when using cmd as a shell?

Answer 1

From the command line options help:

 -d <directory> 

 Specifies a startup directory. If you want to parametrize
 startup dirs, you need to specify startup directory parameter as "%1"\
 (backslash is outside of the double quotes)

Answer 2
