Dosemu alt-backspace returns wrong value

[ray field]

Binary package hint: dosemu

According to a native DOS app, SCODE.COM, under every other DOS implementation I can find -- OS/2's DOS window, XP, and DosBox under Ubuntu Intrepid -- Alt-Backspace produces 0EF0 while under Dosemu it produces 0E00.

Thus, for example, within DOSEMU, pressing Alt-Backspace XyWrite under DosBox deletes the previous word -- as it does in every other DOS I've used, going back to IBM-DOS 3.2 -- while under DOSEMU it doesn't do anything.

Ubuntu version 8.10
Source package: 1.4.0+svn.1828-2ubuntu1

Hi! How can I see what keycode is being produced within dosemu? This may be fixed in the latest release.

Ah-ha, here is SCODE.COM, as you mentioned. http://www.simtel.net/product/view/id/47260

All the documentation I can find says the 0E00 is correct. E.g. http://stanislavs.org/helppc/scan_codes.html
