Does anyone have a small program that allows you to save what disk and 
directory you a presently in and later return you to that directory?
What I have in mind is something like the following application:

---------------------------------
@echo off
[save current directory]
d:        
cd \wherever 
[run application]            
[return to original directory]
---------------------------------

In short, nothing fancy but good for running applications from anywhere on
the disk, without losing what place you are on the disk. (Ideal for the
helpless using the office software barely knowing what they are doing.)

Thanks for any replies.
