have a problem:

we use very old set of tools. It's include many batch files with commands like "me.exe %12.rez" - in result we must open file with name [parameter]2.rez in me.exe.

in native dos %12 interprt. as "[first_parameter]2"
in dosbox --- as 12's parameter

Some solution?

Shouldn't it be %1% anyways? Or does my memory fail me there?

Command-line parameters - these have the form %0, %1...%9, and initially contain the command name and the first nine command line parameters passed to the script (e.g., if the invoking command was "myscript.bat John Doe", then %0 is "myscript.bat", %1 is "John" and %2 is "Doe")
