   After the & starts a new command and because I don't insert a   
   space before a command at the CMD prompt I also don't insert   
   a space before the command after an &.   
      
   But more important is the space before the &. You can write   
   the two commands above in one line:   
      
   set dd=cd&doskey cd=cd $* ^&call title %^%dd^%%   
      
   But if you insert a space before the & it doesn't work   
   anymore:   
      
   set dd=cd &doskey cd=cd $* ^&call title %^%dd^%%
