Summary:
 
To make the title bar caption of the Windows NT command prompt display
the current directory path, do the following:
 
1. Create a file somewhere in your Windows NT path that contains the
   following line:
 
      @title %=c:%
 
   The name of this file should have a .CMD extension.
 
2. Run Doskey with the following parameters:
 
      doskey cd=cd $*$T<name of the file you just created>
 
Whenever you subsequently use the CD command to change directories,
the current directory will be displayed in the title bar of the
command prompt.
 
Note: If you use the CD command without a space, Doskey cannot trap
the command and change the title bar. For example, if you use the
following command, the title bar will not display the current
directory path:

   cd\
