I thought about the same problem and then I've written a "very little" program to do that. Just put it to the directory where dosbox will go into after start and add in the configfile in the autoexec area:
locks.exe
There are also other possibilities but don't ask me ^^
Hope that will help you.
have fun

do not work for me,
i have put locks.exe in the folder where the program is :
C:\MV\CG.exe
C:\MV\locks.exe
and also add in the configfile "DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat" in the autoexec area:
locks.exe
C:\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat
Thank's again!
hmm that's bad 🙁 ... please let me know what is that CG ? What's that for a program ? And is it possible to download it from somewhere ?
Hmm -.- ....
You need to start dosbox with numlock turned on and that's it or what am I wrong ? If I'm wrong, please explain your problem in detail 😀 ... I think this could turn very interesting ^^
thank you Vince.Bloodworks,
i have download DOSBOX Megabuild 5 and run correctly NumLock
thank's to h-a-l-9000 for MB5 http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/

Thanks! Works for me!
That's what I did:
1) Copy locks.exe to program's folder.
2) Make a batch file
run.bat:
locks.exe
<My good old Clipper app>.exe
3) Run run.bat
There was no need to modify [autoexec] section.
But
3) Run run.bat […]
locks.exe
<My good old Clipper app>.exe
3) Run run.bat
is what you put into the [AUTOEXEC] section usually.
Klimawandel.
hello, another solution is in the removed [dos] put the line Numlock = ON
Thanks for reviving a 4-year old thread with nothing relevant!
Just another user that likes old OSes and videogames, nothing interesting to see here...

So how to launch DOSBox with same NUMLOCK status as host machine?
Is this too much voodoo?
