I've edited your topic title, Mental blank isn't very useful for the forum search function. ~dosraider

name_file
To find what you must run to get a game running:
dir *.bat
or
dir *.exe
or
dir
or
dir /w/p
whilst you're in the game's folder.
Example: to run Bubble Boblle input
bubble
on the prompt whilst you're in the bubble folder.
For Bubble Bobble the default game folder structure is:
c:\acclaim\bubble
So on the c:\ prompt you must input:
cd acclaim
cd bubble
bubble

Why do you do a b mount ?
Why not c ?
Sooner ore later you gone have troubles with this, some dosgames expect to run from C:
FYI: the attribued drive letters in dosbox have nothing to see with your real drive letters under win.
And your folder naming sucks, keep them to 8 chars max, so you don't have those ugly "comman~1"
Ahwell, whatever.
