Well, if the variable is 't', you should be prompted for a working  
directory (presuming you work with some flavor of S). The default  
that will prposed to you is what Emacs consider to be its current  
working directory, much like when you find a file.

For example, if you have a file ~/work/toto.R opened and you do 'M-x  
R RET', Emacs/ESS should prompt you for a working directory for the R  
session, proposing as default ~/work/.

Is this what you want?

Cheers,

Vincent
