I have several old Clipper programs that I would like to run in DosBox. But for some unknown reason, the function keys do not work in a Clipper program.

Is this a known problem? Any way to solve this?

do they work in other dos programs (if not check for a F-lock key on your keyboard).

Yes, they work in other dos programs just fine.

Never mind, it turns out the function keys DO work in Clipper programs. It was just a TSR started by a particular Clipper program that was causing havoc. 😊
