A couple of Dosbox questions

[ffutures]

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?

Looks like there's an autoexec section in the dosbox.conf file.

You may not want to run your program from there if you're contemplating others, but at least it would save you retyping keyb uk every time (or having to remember to include it in multiple batch files).

Edit: and here's where to find it on Linux.
