MS-DOS or DOS box is a misnomer. It is usually referred to as a "DOS Prompt" by those who think in clickety-pokery mode only. As far as I know, there is no "DOS" version of sqlite3.
The Windows command line is a native Win32 Console Mode executable. It will run in any environment that supports the execution of Win32 Console Mode applications. >From your description it sounds like the environment you are using cannot >execute Win32 Console Mode applications.
