   What's needed is that string variable to get the file name because the file   
   name changes depending on the use, and then save it into that variable.   
      
   Something like this pseudo code   
      
   set TITLE=getfilename(current batch file name)   
   --   
   Maybe I was raised wrong, but I was taught if you wanted something,   
   you worked for it.
