I suppose the following will work: make a file (say its name
is "C:\cd_") containg "CD ", and a batch file containg:
COPY C:\cd_ C:\cd_.bat
CD >>C:\cd_.bat
CD new.dir
... do something ...
CALL C:\cd_.bat
but note DOS CD doesn't set current drive :-(,
possibly proper use of ECHO and PROMPT can help :-)
(need create batch file containg sth like "C:"CRLF ).
