<DIV><SPAN class=726123218-26092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>thank
you very much for your answer. My problem is not to understand the backslash (\)
- but the mystery is that I can type this backslash with the
keycombination [ Alt Gr] and [ ?] in any other DOS - Program but not
in this special DOSBox ... ;-(</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

XP<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Stefan,<BR><BR>I tried to answer your questions in a
personal e-mail approximately one week ago. I will try here to explain
the (\) backslash. It is the symbox on US English and some other
keyboard systems for "directory". As shown with C:\, it means "root
directory", and is used as a symbol to show when one establishes a
subdirectory under that root as in establishing a "path" to the
file..<BR><BR>Dos is usually stored in a directory called C:\DOS\. The
DOSBox directory (also called a folder in WINDOWS) is a sub-directory of
C:\program files\, such as in c:\program files\dosbox\, and it contains the
DOSBox.conf file and the other text files that explain how to configure
it. The DOSBox.conf file would be shown in its full path as such:
C:\program files\dosbox\dosbox.conf<BR><BR>I apologize that I cannot explain
it another way, but I think you can probably safely substitute whatever figure
is used in the German version of regular DOS in the place of this
backslash. I don't know what that figure would be, as I am (sorry) not
at all literate in any other computer terminology for Windows/DOS other than
the US English.<BR><BR>The creators of DOSBox may be able to help answer your
questions at: <BR><BR>
