Jam, this characterset translation thing is not easy. Lots of little details that can wrong, like when IBM created a Danish character-ROM for their matrix-printers, and somehow managed to put a ¥ (Yen) where it should have been a ø.
And regarding your statement that the German characters is included in the standard ASCII charset, I say No way there are. ASCII is short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, and only covers 127 characters, so there simply isn't room for neither German, Danish or Greek characters there.
I can understand your desire to have DOSBox understand the names of your old files, but I don't think it will be implemented soon. In the mean time, you have 2 choices:
1) Use DOSBox to load and run a copy of real MS-DOS. Once you get everything set up, it should be an okay solution, but it requires a lot of work to prepare disk images, install MS-DOS in the disk images, copy your old DOS files to the images, etc.
2) If you have Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional, you can download and install Microsoft Virtual PC. But then again, you have the same problems as with running MS-DOS in DOSBox: A lot of work and fiddling to create disk images, install MS-DOS, copy files, etc.
