   One way or the other, you will need to alias your "cd" command, so that   
   whenever you change directories, it runs the above "title" command for you.   
      
   I tried to do it with "doskey", like this:   
      
       doskey cd=cd $* ^& title ^%cd^%   
      
   and it almost worked, except that %cd% gets expanded before the "cd"   
   command executes, so it is out of date.  It seems like the delayedexpansion   
   thing would fix this, but I found out that delayedexpansion only works in   
   batch files; it doesn't work at the prompt.  And, of course, doskey macros   
   are command line things, not really batch files.  It would be nice if there   
   was a way of making DOSKEY aliases that span multiple lines, instead of   
   having to slog everything together with &s.   
      
   I think it could be done with an actual batch file, but I lost interest in   
   pursuing it any further...
