I've been using dosbox for a while to play old games etc. One thing that's been annoying me is that in games, like for example day of the tentacle, when you click with the mouse in order to use the game you cannot after that point use the mouse anywhere outside of dosbox, it's like dosbox takes over the mouse. How do I get around this, there must be a way? Could anyone help me?

Read the README include with DosBox, look for Function key shortcuts.

I'm looking at it, there's a section called special keys but I can't see anything like it there. Where do I look?

Ok, I think I found it, it's Ctrl-F10. Thanks
