This sort of feature, as used on Yahoo and other directory sites, is
typically called 'breadcrumbs' in my experience. I'd like to add my
endorsement, as it is essential while navigating 'wide-and-deep'
information spaces, to inform people not only where they are, but how
they got there.

As an aside, I find that using a '>' symbol as a delimiter generally
improves end-user comprehension.
