For some reason it does not recognize arrow keys, and it's impossible to navigate the menus. I've tried it in both Linux and Windows, and I've messed with the keybinder, I'm guessing the application is expecting something weird. Anyone who can give me tips, or get this working, please let me know!

This is a ten year old DOS application that interfaces with some boring machine stuff. The executable is DN.EXE.

You might look at this thread for some of the current keyboard problems with DOSBOX. It might be that the incomplete implementation of the IBM scan-codes by DOSBOX version 0.63 is the problem with your ability to run the older DOS application under the DOSBOX v0.63 environment.

Hope this helps,
