In the standard config with DOSEMU running non-suid-root in terminal mode,
you can't easily do that, without hacking DOSEMU source code.
It is possible to emulate these combination by pressing things like
ctrl-^ s F3
for shift-F3.
Press
ctrl-^ h
for help
If the linux terminal does not understand these keys then neither can
DOSEMU. This could on the linux console be worked around using the
non-portable console ioctl's, like in the midnight commander mc, but AFAIK
that's not implemented in DOSEMU.
A suid-root DOSEMU can use the rawkeyboard. Otherwise, use X, or be
prepared to spend a lot of time and research adding new terminal
definitions, etc.
What's the reason you need to use the console? Even for remote use from
Windows you might want to investigate Cygwin/XFree86
