Greetings
After reading all the faq and stuff, I still know nuts about how to make : , / work for DosBox. Is there anyone who could actually make a foolproof explanation of how to be able to type them?

I'm using Vista 32bit, English Interface, Chinese(Taiwan) Unicode, US keyboard + Chinese keyboard(for language input) etc.
If there's anyone who knows whats the problem pls advise.
Thx in advance.

The only fool-proof method I know of, is to close my eyes, think of the days when I was using an US-keyboard on my SPARC-clone, and tap the keys my fingers remember.

Less foolproof is to use the KEYB command to set the correct layout.

Probably i could add more info on the meaning of fool proof.
After explanation, i still do not know how to use KEYB command which is stated in FAQ and the above post.
If someone could explain how to make use of KEYB in simple words it will be of great assistence.
Thx

There's a whole multi-page section about layouts so you won't get any further information here
when just saying that "you don't know how to use keyb".
