If you have surfed the we at all then you know what I am talking about. Its the type of menus that look like this:
You are here: Home >> Bob's Work >> Painting >> Abstracts

Its on almost every site (including WMF) and I think they are a great feature on a site so that you can track where you are. Anyways on to my question. Is there a quick way to do this in PHP with a custom class of some sort. I am not sure how it would be done but I don't feel like typing in every single path for each new page I make. I vaguely remember there being a thread on this before but did a search and didn't come up with anything. I tried looking on hotscripts under Site Navigation but didn't come up with anything but pull down menus. If you have any ideas I would be greatful.
Thanks,
