Exactly.

Or by hand-typing the same thing (full path/exe from the root or another dir) instead of using the provided batch file that changes to the proper dir (which was my original point btw).

But I'm still not clear whether DOS commands and other characteristics (such as current directory status) behave the same in DOSBox, as I assume there's a good bit of "virtual" stuff going on there...
