Dear DOSBox developers!

I noticed that if you type

1keyb ru

in the console of DOSBox, you get a confusing message:

Keyboard layout ru loaded for codepage 808

It should be written instead of this:

Keyboard layout ru loaded for codepage 866

since the default DOS Russian codepage is 866, not 808. It is just a mistype in the message: really, exactly the symbols from the codepage 866 are being displayed.

P.S.
I couldn't copy the quotes from the DOSBox console and had to retype them. Why don't you make it possible somehow to copy the contents of DOSBox console in the clipboard? For example, let pressing "Ctrl-Shift-F5" creates a text-file instead of a screenshot.

It uses codepage 808 which is correct as well as the message is fine.

For example, let pressing "Ctrl-Shift-F5" creates a text-file instead of a screenshot.

Post a patch at sourceforge.
