Any reason why dosbox doesn't have a limit to the frameskip you can specify in dosbox.conf. For instance you can input a frameskip of 999999

Does waitonerror in dosbox.conf actually work? Every time get an error in dosbox that shuts it down, an error message briefly shows in the console but dosbox shuts down

When you type in "mount" in DosBox after mounting a drive it states:

"Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\"

Should it be chamged to:

"Guest drive C is mounted using host directory c:\"

BOOT

Command say's "This command boots DosBox from either a floppy or hard disk image".

err.. It doesn't boot DosBox. It boots a floppy or image IN DosBox.

So: "This command loads a bootable floppy or hard disk image in dosbox."

Also, is there any way we can boot bootable CD images?

Remove "DosBox runs real and protected mode games." from blue screen intro

Rephrase "If you want more speed..." in blue screen intro?"a
Telling people about frameskip probably isn't needed any more (at least on PC), and just telling them about CTRL+F12 means that people will probably keep on hitting F12 for "more speed"....

DosBox HELP doesn't list the commands in alphabetical order?

Change #captures in dosbox.conf to "# captures -- Directory where MIDI, movies, screenshots and waves are stored.

Change comments for xms,ems,umb from: "Enable xxx support" to "Enable\Disable xxx support (False,True)".

Do the same for similar options in dosbox.conf
