I have some weird old DOS application that I need to run with the parameter 'e' to make it switch to English in stead of French. Now, this works when I start Dosbox, mount my drive and launch: genc.exe e (or just genc e), but when I use this in a shortcut, it doesn't seem to get passed along.

Example shortcut target:

C:\genc\DOSBox.exe GENC.EXE e

This does not work, it still start in French. I've tried GENC.EXE -E and /E as well as "GENC.EXE E" and all kinds of combinations, all of which fail.

When I use one of the 3rd party front-ends that ask to provide a parameter I just works when I use 'e', why not in the shortcut?

Any ideas?
