Problem with batch files

I'm trying to get xdosemu to run a batch file to start an application from my KDE desktop. The batch file is pretty simple, and I have been able to use it in the past.

Quoted 10 lines

The batch file is located in /usr/lib/freedos and it's being called with "xdosemu -E pcplus.bat"

@echo off
D:
cd \pcplus
pcplus.exe
exit

Try

@echo off
D:
cd \pcplus
call pcplus.exe
exitemu

Claudia,

Thanks for the reply.

Adding "call" to the batch file doesn't make any difference. I forgot to mention my previous post, I do get an error message,

"ERROR: could not change directory"

and then the dosemu command line. The problem seems to be that the change directory command "cd" doesn't work in a batch file when called by xdosemu with -E. Does this make sense?

Thanks again,
Rick Knight
