When I have saved this, I am directed to start Dosbox for the first time and when I do so I am confronted with this:-

Z:\>

I am a newcomer to this program but I thought it should read C:\>
-What have I done wrong?
I don't know why you put CLS in there, and I don't know what it does, but dosbox always start at Z:\.

in dos, to switch between drives, you type the drive letter followed by ":", which means that to get to the c drive you should just type:

c:

It's as easy as that.

Oh yeah, and you don't have to mount your cd-rom drive as the e drive, just because it's the e drive in windows. You could just as easily have written:

mount D E:\ -t cdrom

In which case your cd-rom drive would be mounted as the e drive. This isn't very important, but I do believe that some old dos games assume your cd drive is the d drive, in which case having it as the e drive may cause it to not detect the cd (corret me if I'm wrong here).
