I have just started learning assembly language programming in x86 mainly using DOSBox. I was using DOSBox in a Linux virtual machine. Recently, I found an extension in vscode MASM/TASM:

So, I liked it and started using it since I could now write assembly language programs in vscode itself. But, the problem is it won't let me create another .asm file. Instead, it will just keep the single file I had created earlier. This file would always be there in the directory.
This is the one file (which I had created):

And this is the file (and many others) which I want to add to the directory as well and use:

This is the directory:

I have tried using masm prac.asm, but it gives a does not exist error. The only thing that works is copy test.asm prac.asm which addes prac.asm to the directory. On closing the dosbox emulator, the file prac.asm gets erased from the directory. Is there any way to always have multiple files in the directory like prac.asm, prac2.asm etc.?

In the settings for this extension there's one called Working mode. By default it's set to single file. If you change to workspace it will mount the whole dir.
