I shouldn`t complain as most games from Abandonia are working fine except for a couple which I thought the boot disk would sought out. However my problem is my keyboard, which is Japanese, and I can`t seem to use the colon key to go through the directories once in (pure) DOS. Does anyone know anything about keyboard settings and how to configure...

:ot:
Another thing is that when I use the arrow keys in RPGs such as Lands of Lore, pushing an arrow key results in two moves. There`s a lot of double jumping that I can`t seem to get rid of, despite tinkering with the keyboard setup in DosBox.

Other than that I am eternally grateful for this site and others like it. :D

i don't really understand your problem, but you can set up your keyboard to a different standard using the keyb command. for example "keyb us" for american or "keyb gr" for german keyboards.
