Place them in a login script or in the Login Textbox in the specific
dialer entry.

No. The shortcut becomes independent from the dialer.

No. K95CUSTOM.INI executes before the dialer or shortcut script.

The full script language is at your disposal. But I'm really not sure
what you are attempting to solve. If you have a bunch of shortcuts, and
for each session you want a specific default directory, specify in the
shortcut that you want that directory to be the startup directory.
If you want your users to have a single menu, then use the dialer.
In each entry that you want to have a specific current directory
place a CD <directory> command in the Login Textbox or in the
Keyboard map script or textbox.
How are your users performing the transfers? One would think that
if they were changing to the command prompt they could say
SEND <fullpath>
to send the file that you want.
If they are starting the transfer when connected to the host,
specify a SERVER GET-PATH and have the user (or the host application)
issue
kermit -g <filename>
and K95 will search the GET-PATH for the file you have requested
regardless of the current directory.
