I mounted a special drive specifically for the path. I use this for shortcut commands, i.e. "e" exits the prompt, "cfg %1" will create a config file for whatever filename, etc; etc.

Problem is, the path doesn't work. I set the path to the z:\ & the y:\, I type path at the command prompt to make sure it's set (which it is) & it still does not work.

nevermind, my fault. I put spaces in the path between the z & y drive. I should have known something this big wouldn't be messed up. sorry for the inconvenience.

Hm not sure if dosbox is a bit too restrictive with this, if dos allowed
for something like that it might be changed for dosbox as well.

dosbox does it right, I messed up. When setting a drive it should be like...

set path="z:\;y:\"

not

set path="z:\; y:\"

This was my fault. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
