DOSBox help, please.

When ever I try to run a DOS game in DOSBox that has files other than the executable, it can't find them. For example, when I run Paratrooper, a game that is just a .exe and nothing else, it works, but for something like Space Quest, it can't find the other files needed even though I have them and in the same directory. Anyone have any idea why? (I know from my last thread about DOSBox at least a few people here use it.)

I don't understand your problem. When I want to run a dos game fast, I take the dosbox shortcut, put in the game directory, and drag the executable on the dosbox shortcut. It works almost every time.
