There can be a difference if there are the two keyboard maps are inconsistent. We should be generating scan codes that are consistent with the keyboard map of dosemu. Frequently what happens is dosemu is given a character and has to consult it's internal keymap to say, to get this key in dos these strokes would have to happen. Which works well when the keymaps are in sync, but...
