well, I appreciate any input I can get. here is where I am: 1) gnome has extensive keyboard configuration options but none that I've tried have any noticeable effect on Dosemu. I'm not sure it matters, however, because 2) according to SCODE, under OS/2's Dos window, XP, and DosBox under Ubuntu Intrepid, Alt-Backspace produces 0EF0 while under Dosemu it produces 0E00. not surprisingingly, Alt-Backspace XyWrite under DosBox deletes the previous word, while under Dosemu it doesn't do anything. so, it would make sense to turn to 3) kc.exe and keycode.exe to produce a new keyboard for use under Dosemu, except I don't know how to find a US.KEY file and wouldn't know how to modify it for that one keystroke if I did. I guess the documentation in kc110x.zip is very thorough -- if you know what you're doing, that is. -rafe t.
