exes=`dosls c: | grep "\.EXE" | sed 's/^/c:/'`
doscp $exes .

  You may want to define a shell function the do the first part if you
do it a lot, such as

dosmatch() { dosls $1 | grep "$2" | sed "s/^/$1/"; }
doscp `dosmatch c: "\.EXE"` .

  This scores about a 6 on the 1..10 "I feel clever" scale. I don't
doubt you'll get some other, perhaps simpler, answers.
