Back in the days we used a program called DesqView to do this. It allowed DOS to run many programs at once. If you can find a copy install that and configure it and you can do what you ask. Other wise DOS is NOT a multitasking enviornment.

you can't run two dos commands together dos isn't a multi tasking operating system like windows it can only run one thing at a time

try a batch file that 'calls' the other command after your last line

In DOS mode we cannot use parallel commands.
