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/
best

Thanks! Works for me!

That's what I did:

1) Copy locks.exe to program's folder.

2) Make a batch file
run.bat:

1locks.exe
2<My good old Clipper app>.exe 

3) Run run.bat

There was no need to modify [autoexec] section.

But

3) Run run.bat […]

Copy code to clipboard

1locks.exe
2<My good old Clipper app>.exe 

3) Run run.bat

is what you put into the [AUTOEXEC] section usually.

hello, another solution is in the removed [dos] put the line Numlock = ON

Thanks for reviving a 4-year old thread with nothing relevant!

So how to launch DOSBox with same NUMLOCK status as host machine?

Your little program worked for me solving this little annoyance, thanks.
