I can understand that you don't have tech support by hand on the Phillipines, but you can google, I suppose?
Pretty easy to find out what to do with cloneCD images.

Anyway, in short:

For cloneCD images you'll need a virtual CloneCD drive as dosbox can't mount them directly.
Get it@ http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html
Freeware, pretty self explaining in use I guess.

You mount your cloneCD image in it, look what CD drive letter it gets under windows, mount it as CD drive D: in dosbox, done.

Syntax in dosbox is:
mount d x:\ -t cdrom

Replace x:\ by the correct letter of the cloneCD virtual CD drive under windows.

OK?

[Edit]
BTW, it's pretty useless and against the rules on most forums to post your email address, we aren't a call back service.

How-To

OKay DosRaider, I'm a complete dunce when it comes to programming. If a game doesn't setup itself, then I get lost easily. Is there a Step-By-Step How-To to get these different .ext Like ISO, IMG + CCD and .BIN/.CUE running under DOSBox. I have only just discovered this program and got the Wing Commander I & 2 working alright, but I'd downloaded another that said something about CloneCD and thats where I stopped. If such instructions do exist. I live in the Philippines and don't have much Tech Support if you know what I mean. Thanks for listening.

For dosgames:
ISO and BIN/CUE are fully supported in dosbox 0.73, use imgmount to mount the image as D: CD drive, no need for magic disk or other virtual CD drive software.
Again: if BIN/CUE point to the *.cue file

Only 75-80% (?) of the images you convert to ISO will work correctly.

To conclude: you're usually best simply using the format the image is provided, or you will have to learn the extended basics of CD copying.
Thanks, that is what I wanted to know. IF I run into a problem that I can't figure out I will ask.

kittybrod Thanks, I thought that was the case, but just wanted to make sure BEFORE I downloaded a ton of files I DIDN'T need

I normally would, but I just want to make sure before I download them incase I can get out of it (remember that dialup problem )
Yes. They are the other parts of the RAR file. I know what you mean with the dial-up.
