Interesting. I was running a standard xterm yesterday when I tested, so
following on I just tried dosemu under Eterm. The arrow keys work, but the
Alt key doesn't, so I cannot get back to the menu when I try to get out of
FreeDOS Edit. Like you, I am fine in the console which is where I'll
probably use this anyway.

I think there is much to figure out, both about what disk image to run as
well as what terminals work and don't work.
