$I am not sure I understand you request, but if all you want to do is run
$an executable file that you have written, you could use the install command
$which is in MS-DOS 4.01.  I don't know if other versions have it.

   No, it's new in MS-DOS V4.  However, you can't just load in any file that
way.  There are some rules which must be followed; if you can find a book
that covers programming for DOS 4 at a technical level (the latest copy of
Duncan may do this), it will probably be able to help you out.
