Have you tried the following settings in dosemu.conf:
$_term_char_set = "ibm"
# This fixed my characters (mostly) in the terminal
# session--that is, everything looks right except
# for the up and down arrows in the right end of
# the top line on the display.
If the above didn't fix the characters in your terminal, try a different
font in the terminal. I use the vga font in my terminal, so it really looks
about the same whether I run emu in terminal or X mode.
I still don't know what to say about the alt-keys in the termial, you'll
likely have to resort to the F10 key until someone fixes the keyboard
handling in dosemu. (I saw a message about someone working on that just
last night, but am at work right now...).

Subject: Re: edit with dosemu
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.
