   It is the same as like   
      
   for %i in (hello world) do echo %i   
      
   It does work on the command line but not in a batch file. If you want   
   to use it in a batch file, you have to add a few %:   
      
   set dd=cd   
   doskey cd=cd $* ^&call title %%%%dd%%%%

   You can use any name which is not used by other batch code instead   
   of "dd". But if there is a naming conflict with an other batch, then   
   maybe it is better the doskey macro stops working than the other   
   batch stops working.
