After opening a terminal window, just type the two words

  cd iso

Do not type any () around the command, which would run it in a subshell.
 Using

  cd /home/jose/iso

would also work, but it is longer to type.

I think a little time spent learning some basic shell (terminal)
commands would be worthwhile for you.  See

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

for some ideas.  Once you are comfortable using the commands listed in
the section "File & Directory Commands", and using a text editor (such
as nano), your ability to do Lubuntu QA and ISO testing tasks will be
increased.

you, try

Hoping this helps,
