A couple of Dosbox questions

I want to run a Dos program on my netbook using Dosbox - it works OK, but getting it to start is a pain because I have to set the path etc. and the netbook's ~ key doesn't work under Dosbox, it comes out as an @ instead. Can't find ~ at all under DOS. I can get round it by using CD ../ to get to the top of the file system, then changing directories down, but it's a bit of a pain. Any easy alternative?

What I would ideally like to do is set up a link that starts Dosbox and loads the program automatically - is there any simple way to do that?

It's probably the easiest answer, just doesn't feel very elegant.
