Unable to Write or create files (Permission Issue?)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On command Line:>Copy con test.txt 
2. Or Copy a file to another name.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Expected output of Copy Con test.txt 
(Would allow you to enter information and save by ctrl-z)
Instead I recieve:
Copy failure : test.txt
  0 File(s) copied.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version aDOSBox-WVGA-0.1alpha.zip

Please provide any additional information below.
Since many programs use File I/O, it would be greatly beneficial to have 
write access.  Thanks for the hard work.

Yes, I also experience the same issue.
Motorola Milestone, android 2.1-update1.

Prevents me from installing Windows :( The setup works fine, but as it cannot 
write
anything it fails. BTW, is it possible to use function keys like F1 and F3. It 
would
be possible to map them to alt + shift + numbers keys I think?

It looks like this may have been fixed in Revision 48.  Hopefully a new release 
will
come soon.  In addition, see Issue 2, Problem entering #s for function keys.  
using
mapper.txt, you can do this

Ok, newbie question .. I see the code has been changed to allow the program to 
write to the SD card.  I downloaded the app, but still cannot.  Are the changes 
in Revision 48 not applied to the download?  How can I modify the apk that I 
have to apply the changes?  Really frustrating to have the app but not be able 
to use it for much because I can't save anything.  

Thanks!

Second newbie question. The download have not been changed to write or create 
files. When will the download be updated? I can only second what ewalsh71 
writes, DOSBox gets pretty useless when not being able to write or create 
files. Many DOS games crashes when not being able to save scorelists, the 
scorelists is not a big problem itself, but it is a real big problem when the 
games and apps crashes. Otherwise aDOSBox is a slick emulator, and I look 
forward to use it on my phone. The alpha works very stable for me, it would be 
a big step forward to fix this issue.

Since it will be a security problem to grant aDOSBox write access to the entire 
SD card, I would suggest to grant full access to a folder on the SD card. For 
example this folder could be called "drive_c" (without the quotation marks). 
Then you would have to mount the drive_c folder in dosbox.conf: mount c 
\sdcard\drive_c
