wine users - Feb 2006 - Windows Start in Folder?

Is there any way to emulate the Windows "Start In Directory" function
when setting up a launcher for a program under Wine? I can do it in
CrossOver Office but haven't yet clicked on how to accomplish this
function under Wine

I did it under KDE by just setting up a new icon (link to application) 
with 'work path' set to my 'start in' directory.  That worked
fine.

There is probably a way to do it from the command line so you can call a 
program with a script but I don't know the syntax.

If your launcher does not accept shell commands, you may have to feed it
to a shell:

sh -c "cd /path/to/programdir && wine program"
