Starting DOSBox and getting Z:\>
I am unexperienced in this,so after reading everything in DOSBOX TUTORIAL on your site and then opening DOSBox for the first time, I'm getting Z:\> instead of, I think it must have been C. What did I do wrong?

You did nothing wrong... because you did nothing at all.
A Beginner's guide to DOSBox might come in very handy in explaining what and how to do.

Russ is right, it's actually easy as pie. Even the slightly more advanced stuff isn't too hard once you get to grips with it.

I'm trying to mount my games directory in Windows, but DOSbox freaks out about the path and says it doesn't exist. Can it not handle spaces in directory names?

Don't use your Windows dir, bad idea.
Simply create a new one, avoid spaces, or else use " " ,something as: mount c "x:\i like spaces and i can't live without them" And you could read the howto or the dosbox readme.

Thanks for the tip. Thanks not so much for the condescension. Of course I went to the readme. It isn't much help for non-fulltime computer nerds.

NOT. The answer to your question is in there, as quoted by Luchsen. I'm not having a attitude towards you, I'm simply telling you to read the f*cking readme and the dosbox howtos. Had you done that you wouldn't have to ask your questions, and you certainly wouldn't try to mount your windows dir as virtual C.
