LaunchBox is calling DosBox with incorrectly-escaped characters

Issue #4326 new
Former user created an issue

You can't currently swap out the included DosBox with other versions (e.g. DosBox-X).

This is because LaunchBox is calling DosBox with a parameter like this: -c "MOUNT C 'C:\Temp'"

However, the correct encoding for the quotes within the string is to prefix with slashes: -c "MOUNT C \"C:\Temp\""

This is then compatible with the currently-included DosBox AND other versions, e.g. DosBox-X.

I have confirmed that this encoding works on the included DosBox and a few other versions.
