Maybe this will suit your need.

Place it somewhere IN YOUR PATH.

To save the current drive and directory, at the CLI type: gobak s
To return to the previously saved directory, type: gobak r
For help, type: gobak ?

The "saved" drive:\directory is written to the file: c:\gobak.dat.
This file is stored intact until you over-write it by typing "gobak s" again.

It works just fine on my MSDOS 6.20.
I hope it does what you want it to do.
