Matt, I had a need to get dosemu working, so I tried this and do not see the problem you are discussing. I opened dosemu, then did edit test1.txt A this point I typed in a few lines of text, and then tried my arrow keys. They seem to work fine for me. Possibly this has something to do with the keyboard driver you are calling, or the specific keyboard you are using, and not dosemu itself? I've seen these problems with other programs, but sadly never known how to debug them. Good luck, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
