That's the solution I end up using. It works quite well both on POSIX systems and Windows :-) >> Note that what I'm trying to accomplish is similar to ECLiPSe >> initialization at startup behavior.

On Windows is a bit more work as a Logtalk user needs to duplicate the installed shortcuts and erase the "Start in" field in the shortcut proprieties. The edited shortcut can then be copied to your project folders. Also, in the case of Logtalk, if no settings file is found in the startup directory, then the Logtalk user folder is searched for a settings file. The Logtalk user folder is always defined using an environment variable. Thank you both for your suggestions.
