And when I disable (by gnome-keybinding-properties prog) GNOME default
binded keys ALT-F1, ALT-F2, ALT-F4, ALT-F8,... then these are available
for DOSEMU programs as well.
Then I think there isn't any problem use these combinations in Your DOS
programs.

ok, I've got some catching up to do, and the documentation assumes more comfort
& understanding than I have.
I downloaded and ran scode, and obtained 0E00 as the value for ctrl-bkspace.
For me it show 0E08 for bkspace (and shift-bkspace too), 0E7F for ctrl-bkspace
and 0E00 for alt-bkspace.
are you suggesting that since I know that the value of the keystroke, I can use a
keyboard statement in dosemu.conf?
I think, when You disable capturing Your keys in Linux window manager (and/or X),
then is no need for further configuration in dosemu.conf - You app obtain these
keys equally as under plai DOS system.

I tried entering
keyboard { layout us {alt 14=00E0} ... }
which gave
In file included from built-in global.conf:122
from :122
Error in /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf: (line 672) unrecognized expression 'E0'
Error in /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf: (line 672) syntax error
2 error(s) detected while parsing the configuration-file
I also tried
keytable keyb-user {alt14=00E0}
with similar results. I'm sure I am way off, though!

so long, it's now second nature. Searching "dosemu alt-backspace" keeps
yielding
references to "ctrl-alt-backspace" which isn't what I want. Finally I found that
someone says "Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Insert... are not available for the BIOS
(at
least in DOSemu!)" Is this true, and if so, is there any chance a future DOSemu
(or
Freedos) will overcome this?

Alt-F2 is very useful in Ubuntu for running a command, but while in Dosemu I'd
prefer to let XyWrite handle it. Is this possible?
