Anyone know how to solve this problem:

When I type \ in dosbox I get ]. Everysingle time. Obviously this means that I can use the program. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

The standard keyb layout is US English in dosbox.

And yes, you missed something.
The dosbox readme.
There is a whole section there handling that problem.
Maybe you could read the readme?



If you really can't sort it out, ask again.

Thanks for the direction. I skimmed through the readme, thinking I'd come up with something obscure.... but I guess not. Wonder why my system isn't set up for the standard to begin with.....

Thanks again,

What's your keyboard layout/standard language?
