Default Problem with Lemmings

First off I do have DosBox 0.63 and I am trying to play Lemmings (downloaded from here) in DosBox 0.63 and when I press F1 to play single player, it brings up the screen of what I need to do in order to complete the mission, I press spacebar to continue, and then the screen goes black and nothing more happens.

Also, I am using the command, Lemmings, to start the program.

0.63 is outdated for three years.
Each version of DOSBox has a number of compatibility fixes for known issues with games/software in the preceeding one - hence games that don't work so well (or at all) with an old version could run just fine if you use a newer one.
Both speed and stability of emulation has greatly improved since 0.63 as well, so I suggest you get a more up-to-date version (0.72 is the newest around).

That was the problem alright. I guess my problem is that I had gotten Dosbox 0.65 not shortly after 0.63, and I had a ton of problems with 0.65, however I didn't think it'd be up to 0.72 by now. Thanks for the help

Ya 0.63 is way outdated. 0.72 might have what ever problem you are having fixed.

It must be L3 or L3F .....
[Edit]
Added screenshot of what you must see when you're mounted L3 right and are in the correct directory.
