Using dosbox for the first time. Mounted my drive and can list the program code, but when I try the "run" command, it just states "syntax error". Any recommendations?

You're going to have to be a lot more detailed than that, as I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you trying to run a BASIC program or something? If you're using an old .bat file, then DOSBox may not be appropriate.

It may be appropriate to follow the 60 Seconds Guide.
