I'm trying to get an old application to work under dosbox, but I have quite a problem with it.
It starts off with a .BAT file which uses quite a lot of commands. However, it fails to run properly and prints: "Illegal commad: for"...

Can I remedy this in any way?

(sorry if this has been asked before, the search function brought no help)
