Depends on the shell you want to use. For regular shell you could use
something like this:
(defun nf/openshell (&optional dir)
(interactive "DDirectory to open shell into: ")
(shell)
(if dir
(comint-send-string
(current-buffer)
(concat "cd " (shell-quote-wildcard-pattern dir) "
"))))
in any case, it doesn't seem to be possible to open a shell directly
in any arbitrary directory other than default-directory. You always
have to send a "cd something" to move to where you want to be (though
I'd be glad to find out I'm wrong). In any case, that's the same I do
in SrC (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Sunrise_Commander) and works
quite well for me.
Cheers,
