DosBox is new to me so forgive me if these are illiterate questions. I hope to use DosBOX to port my app to Android and Windows 7 64bit.

1. I have a MSDOS app which shells out to other apps - about a hundred of them, but only one at a time. It's a menu! The initial app runs fine, but shelling doesn't work like cmd.exe or running on DOS 6.2. It just fails silently and nothing is reported to the console window. Can this be changed through configuration, so that a new DosBox session is launched for the "shelled" app? If so, how?

2. When running from a shortcut, how can I configure DosBox to close when the initial app closes? For example, running "c:\dosdox\dosbox.exe" MYAPP.exe, when MYAPP finishes, I want to close the DosBox app as well.

Thanks!
