The sequence for this (using .wav which is more likely to work than 
.cas) is Create a cassette image either from messgui or within 
emulation, set the cassette to Record from the Device menu within 
emulation, and then CSAVE or CSAVEM as needed. If more than one cassette 
save is needed, leave the Device in Record mode and keep CSAVE(M)ing 
until finished.

I can't think of any reason why you would need to leave emulation 
without getting all the needed files onto a cassette. Once that is done, 
there won't be any need to join .wav files with a WinXP command.
