I did try it, and thought it would work. But the fact that it will not 
recognize my Spanish keyboard makes it a problem. For instance, I can not 
switch to disk C: because I can not get it to print colon (:) after the drive 
letter. Even Dosemu has to be mapped to Spanish keyboard, and I can not find 
the keyb command under dosbox. As a matter of fact, I can not type the '/' 
either (and some other indispensable keys). Your suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Regards.
