Please forgive me if this has been addressed; I looked but couldn't find it.

Leisure Suit Larry requires function keys to gamble in the casinio. But DOSBOX doesn't seem to recognize my Mac function keys. The docs say ctrl-f1 opens up keymapper, which sounds promising, but ctrl-f1 just dims the screen on my Macbook.

I'm stuck!

Have you tried Command-F1? Seems like wherever a PC would use the Ctrl key, the Mac seems to use Command instead (as evidenced by other programs like Photoshop or Word).

I found in my Mac that by pressing Option-Control-(fkey) instead of just Control-(fkey) I was able to access functions like the Keymapper. Try it.

I haven't found a way of doing Control-Alt however, since the Option key IS the Alt equivalent. Alt-Enter (that is, Option-Enter) switches to Fullscreen OK, but Control-Alt-F2 (C-O-F2) for a quick switch to US keyboard layout from another loaded layout doesn't work.

Anyone know how to do that?

EDIT Sorry folks, this apparently ISN'T the "DOSBox on a Mac" forum X-). Got here direct via Google and didn't check...
