I should have tried both ways before speaking. If I do ./xdosemu to have a new X-window created, then all is well. The ALT key activates the top menu bar and allows me to do it after a file is opened. I had expected that the default background would have been solid blue; it has small dots making it gray. This is true even with the default of 'not ibm' and 'not vga'. So this method works just fine. I will use it for development.
But if I use a Terminal window and do ./dosemu, then I see problems, just as I had explained before: 1. the ALT key does not activate the top menu bar. 2. the background and side bars are not correct chars. 3. if I hold the ALT key and hit F, then I can get the File menu to load a file. 4. while the file is loaded, the ALT key cannot be used to get the File menu again to Save or Exit. I need to use the ./dosemu method on a box with RH 6.2 that does not have X loaded. It is a remote data logger box that needs to run one DOS program to control a hardware board. Thanks for the help.
