ctrl-f4 with regular mounts causes dosbox to refresh what it sees. So it causes it to recheck the cd drive and update the contents. You can do some interesting tricks with old multi disc floppy games as well, such as decompressing one disc to a folder, running the install prog, and when it asks for disk 2, erase the contents and decomrpess disk 2 to the same folder (or just overwrite the old files) and then hit ctrl-f4 to 'refresh' the floppy drive.

It also causes dosbox to cycle to the next image if you have used imgmount to load multiple discs to the same drive.
