David,

Not sure if this is exactly what your looking for, but
if your running under Win2K it looks like you can use the
%CD% variable to retrieve the directory.  From the SET 
help screen:

If Command Extensions are enabled, then there are several dynamic
environment variables that can be expanded but which don't show up in
the list of variables displayed by SET.  These variable values are
computed dynamically each time the value of the variable is expanded.
If the user explicitly defines a variable with one of these names, then
that definition will override the dynamic one described below:

%CD% - expands to the current directory string.
