msdos.exe has a command-line option, "-c" which combines msdos.exe and your chosen DOS executable into a single file called "new_exec_file.exe", which will run your DOS EXE as a stand-alone Windows EXE.
To use: type "msdos.exe -c YOURDOSFILE.EXE" (replace YOURDOSFILE.EXE with the name of your DOS executable, say, for instance, GWBASIC.EXE.
Once new_exec_file.exe is created you can rename it to whatever you like, then double-click on it to run it, just as you would for a Windows program.
