Ok, this is weird. My \ key when in Dosbox types as a ]. It is like Dosbox is shifting those keys to the left.

For example the [ key types as a "P" and the ] key types out as a "[" key and the \ key types out as the "]" key

Needless to say, I cannot do anything if I my \ key produces a ] 🤣

any suggestions?

given in DOSBox, should work, as far as I know.
