Hi Bill, Just make sure to add Z:\ to the %PATH%, e.g. path=z:\;c:\xy4 Then Z:\ will be automatically expanded to include directories like Z:\SYSTEM and Z:\DOS. To redirect the output of most DOS commands to a file, just append >filename.txt for the command line. Or you can just copy the screen text to the macOS clipboard with either mouse or keyboard, which is supported by DOSBox-X. From the output it is apparent that it’s working directory is /users/billt, which you want to change to something else so that DOSBox-X will find mapper file, font files etc in this directory. Hope this helps. Wengier > On Dec 26, 2021, at 3:48 PM, Bill Troop <billtroop@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > OK.

I had assumed that this was when I arrived at what I have always regarded as the DOS command prompt. Z:/, c:/ whatever. However, from here, it denies that CONFIG is valid command.
