not afaik, because the debug commands are inside debug.com and is not a part of ms-dos
actually there is:
put the commands you are typing into a text file, and use the dos command:
debug <doit.txt
where doit.txt is a text file with the commands as you would type them into debug (dont forget a enter after the 'q' on the last line...)
then it will automatically enter into debug, all the commands you have in the text file (this was a very common technique back in the days when everyone was using debug... surprised nobody else seems to know about it...)

hmm... Sorry to bring this up again, but I am still having the problem of the floppy drive "needing to be formatted" after I copy my bootsector and kernel.
Any ideas?

Copying your bootsector ruins the filesystem contained on the disk. Windows hates that. Live with it.

Read the following Wikipedia page, hopefully things will become a little bit clearer for you.
