How do I open a terminal on another machine, and have it change
directories
to where I want to work?

What I tried was:

xon host xterm -hold -e eval cd /path/Projects

and I always get:

xterm: Can't execvp eval: No such file or directory.

There certainly is that directory and I have rw permissions.

All advice appreicated.

It's complaining that it can't find an executable named eval to
run. The -e option expects to get an executable name after it.

You might try calling a script that does the cd and then execs a
shell:

--- script ---
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/Projects
exec ksh

xon host xterm -e script
