What syntax do you use to change the title bar that displays when the batch file opens?

You would have to write a program that runs and issues Windows API commands that change the title bar message.

If you use the Start command to run your batch then
Start "Windows Title" Batch_Name
Where "Windows Title" has to be substituted with your desidered title. If you use a shortcut to run the batch then set the appropriate box in Properties.

EG: TITLE put_new_title_here
should be run as the first line of your batch file.
