I'm using DosBox 0.74 on my 7 Pro 64Bit machine & have a problem getting into a folder.

How do I get into this folder? The Alt 255 combo doesn't work & I don't know Ascii characters in DosBox.

If at 1st you don't succeed, so much for skydiving!

I was able to find a website (http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/) w/the ASCII characters list I need.
But yeah, in practice it didn't work out to well w/some older dos games that need to 'look' for the optical drive.
