a preferred game in DOSBox? For anyone who is familiar with what DOSBox emulator is, a downloadable program which runs on DOS games in Windows XP, this should come easier.

Also, a general knowledge of writing .BATch files is required.

I am trying to write a .bat file to sit on my desktop which, whenever clicked, will open DOSBox and also command the DOSBox program automatically run a particular game.

For example if I wanted to play Wolf3D, I'd just have to doubleclick a so-called "Wolf3D.bat" file which I have created, DOSBox would open and then subsequently emulate Wolfenstein 3D automatically and with no further effort on my part.

The real challenge I seem to be facing is passing commands directly into DOSBox directly from my .bat file, altogether bypassing the Windows-native MS-DOS command line.

Could anybody please help?
