| The Fifth Horseman | That's an option, but D-Fend can cause problems sometimes. | |

| The Fifth Horseman | One of the reasons why I advocate using Norton Commander on top of DOSBox is that it provides a rudimentary point-and-click capability. | |

Glad to hear you got it working  and nah, you're not dumb. DOS is a bit more cumbersome to work with than Windows' point'n'click, and it has to be learned. Point is: Remember what you did to make it work, and you won't have any trouble getting other games to work Happy gaming!

But you need to navigate to the dos directory. Here you are in the root directory. The Type: cd dos That will send you to the right directory. Once there, type dir That will list all files and directories in the dos directory. If the list scrolls off screen, type dir/p That will cut the list in chunks not larger than a single screen. If the game is in it's own directory in the dos directory, repeat the steps above, but swap the name "dos" for the name of the game directory. Locate the bat file, and type the name of that file. |

filename (for exe, bat and com files) run application cd directory name changes directory cd.. changes directory back one level. dir lists all files and directories (folders in windows) in current directory. Navigate to the directory using the cd commands, then type the name of the application. |
