DOS help, (equivelant of linux cli ; for seperate commands)

in bash terminals you can separate commands via ; so that you can enter a series of commands to be run sequentially.... Does anyone know if there is there any way to do this is DOS? or more specifically DOSBOX?

first command & second command

If you care about if the first command ran successfully you can use && like in bash.

I actually did try that and it doesn't work, says directory name is longer than 8 characters so still counting it as the same command.... I actually thought that was a valid dos command myself.... could be a dosbox thing?

yes, you can run multiple command in cmd.exe by using the "&" Or "&&" between the two commands.
Place the '&' between the commands and you are able to run multiple commands.

Obviously this is a feature lacking in dosbox :-(

You could file a bug report about it: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=467232&group_id=52551&func=browse
