   For some "odd reason" I had the same question but posted it into the   
   microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.  Herbert Kleebauer alerted me to this   
   thread.   
      
   >>set dd=cd   
   >>doskey cd=cd $* ^&call title %^%dd^%%   
   >>

   > Indeed it does!  Kudos to you for figuring that out.   
      
   Herbert also posted your final(?) solution :   
      
   > set dd=cd&doskey cd=cd $* ^&call title %^%dd^%%   
      
   I think that you have found out by now that that doesn't quite work.  For   
   multiple reasons :   
      
   Take a look at what "doskey /macros" shows you.  You might notice that the   
   stored command replacement is this : "cd=cd $* &call title dd%".  Which   
   ofcourse means that the title of your command window will always be "dd%"   
      
   Easy to fix, either use "^%%dd^%%" - or just "%%dd%%". ("^%dd^%" doesn't   
   work)   
      
   The biggest problem however is that the "set dd=cd&" part of your command   
   isn't stored in the doskey command replacement.  Which ofcourse means that   
   the current directory is ony *once* stored into the "dd" variable, and than   
   used for all the window captions.  And I don't think that is what you   
   want(ed). :-)   
      
   Also, IFAIKS that "call" in there is not needed.   
      
      
   With the help of JJ I found a solution which seems to work nicely :   
      
   doskey cd=cd /d $* ^& for %%A in (.) do @title %%~nxA   
      
   (caveat: I did my work under XPsp3)
