I was under the impression that any programs installed into PocketDOS are inside of a "Disk Image" style file. Basically a virtualized box of the "C:" drive
But if you want to copy files back and forth I thought you could use the CF card to do so as long as you navigate to its drive within DOS?
If that makes sense
Or you can also map a certain folder to copy files back and forth

I downloaded and installed PocketDOS successfully but it does not seem to see all the directories and files on my H/PC and its storage card, is this a limit of the demo version?
Due to limitations in the Windows CE OS, it is not possible to "see" file or directory names that do not adhere to the MS-DOS 8.3 file naming convention in PocketDOS. Renaming the folder to a legal MS-DOS file name (max. 8 character file name, max. 3 character file extension) will enable you to "see" the folder from DOS. Windows CE does not support alternate (short name alias) file names due to its lack of any kind of legacy support (unlike desktop versions of Windows). Without support from the operating system, it is not possible for PocketDOS to provide short name aliases to long file names. You can however map DOS drive letters to folders with long names or physical disk devices (eg. Compact Flash) using the SETDRIVE command.
SETDRIVE M: "\My Documents"
will redirect the M: drive to the "My Documents" folder.
