I assume you are talking about running dosemu in a terminal here, for instance the linux console. the control keys should work but not in all combinations. If Ctrl-A (or in general, Ctrl-letter) does not work something must be terribly wrong. To get Esc you must hit it twice in rapid succession. And Alt+Fkey switches linux consoles. There exist a few possibilities and work arounds. a) use xdosemu (might be difficult for you in your circumstances though) or b) use $_rawkeyboard=(1) or the -k option. This requires (suid)root for dosemu.bin, bypasses the terminal and passes keystrokes directly (use ctrl+alt+fkey to switch consoles) or c) use a workaround with different keys. Press ctrl+^ h (that's ctrl+6 h on US keyboards) to get help about which keys to use. A Unix/Linux terminal simply does not provide all possible key combinations that DOS applications require.
