Q: I would like to change the memory size/cpu speed/ems/soundblaster IRQ.
A: This is possible! Just create a config file: config -writeconf dosbox.conf .
Startup your favourite editor and look at all the settings present. To
start DOSBox with your new settings: dosbox -conf dosbox.conf

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone could clarify for me something from this part of the readme. I'm not really clear on where exactly to enter this last line "dosbox -conf dosbox.conf" where does that have to go in order to work?

from within dosbox you type the
config -writeconf dosbox.conf

and from the shell you type
dosbox -conf dosbox.conf

Very simply said, the "shell" is basically a command line in your host operating system (Windows, Linux,...). If you you start DOSBOX by clicking on a shortcut (icon), then modify its properties (right click on icon).
