What command to get executable to work?

I just downloaded .65. I'm on a Mac (OS X). I have a simple program abcd.exe that converts tab deliniated files into a specific Palm doc.

If I were in Windows, I would drag the .txt file onto the abcd.exe, and then a .pdb file appears in the same location as the .txt file.

So, what command do I type in DosBox that will do the same thing as dragging and droping a text file onto abcd.exe?

Put the converter and the txt file in a folder somewhere, and then something like the following...
mount c /myfolder
c:
abcd file.txt

Avoid filenames/foldernames greater than 8 characters + 3 for extension unless you want to use 8.3 truncated filenames like ThisFi~1.txt
