+* To start the terminal in the current directory when calling the script from the command line,
+  modify it (or a copy for this purpose) and remove the final `-l` parameter.
+* To enforce starting in your Linux home directory, do *either* of:
+  * On Linux side, add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile`.
+  * In the script (or a copy for this purpose), add `-C~` as first parameter of `wslbridge`: `... /bin/wslbridge -C~ -t /bin/bash -l`.
