For compatibility with Windows filenames:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert
 (format "cd '%s'" anything-ff-default-directory))
(eshell-send-input)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As there is no evaluation inside the quotes,
this actually works fine, but before that, i wrote it with
shell-quote-argument, which was working fine excepted with accentued char.
