Running Terminal and/or X-Windows in Mac OS X

Quick question:

When I load up Terminal or X-Windows on my Mac, and the prompt comes up...what folder am I starting in?

I've never used OS X, but you might try the standard UNIX command "pwd" ("print working directory").

(By "print," UNIX means "display.")

Cool...I'll try it on my lunch break. Thanks! I'm just learning UNIX, so I'm still clueless on most commands...
