Now I understand what you mean. But you are not intended to run executables out of other directories per command input. Even the directory change via a BAT wouldn't work if executed from another directory.

Well, it certainly works in DOS. Many DOS games would create a batch file in the root dir so users could simply type in the name at the C:\> prompt without having to manually change dirs.

However, if DOSBox doesn't emulate the DOS dir/file structure, then I can understand why it wouldn't work the same.

Sorry for any added confusion.

Yes it works.
Use this: cd\xxxx

Notice the \ not a space.
