I wish to build a conf file for running a laboratory application which is build for MS-DOS. We wish to execute it on an XP OS with the use of Dosbox.

We still have some problems:
a: it seems that some function key combinations such as alt-F9 or CTRL-F9 do not function, the way they do in real DOS operating system (in fact, the program either crashes or ignore these combinations).

Is there a way, to solve this problem. Preferably something that can be changed or added to the conf file.

The XP installation seems to be a default one without programs that capture and still function keys.

Thanks.
