One way to accomplish this without changing csound (smart programs are
dangerous, I think) is to call csound with a batch (.bat) file that
contains the desired csound command line.  For example, I have a file
called cs.bat, which contains:

	csound -o %1.wav -W %1.orc %1.sco

Calling "cs foo" will bind 'foo' to %1, run csound with foo.sco and
foo.orc and write the result to a .wav file called foo.wav.  

This is also useful if you have various favorite parameter settings,
just create different batch files.  Possibilities are endless.  Almost
like Unix ;-)
