To set this, pull up the menu for the DOS icon with the right mouse button. Then mouse click on the arrow button appearing to the right of the OPEN menu choice. Choose SETTINGS from the resulting menu. Then go to the SESSION tab of the notebook, and click on the DOS SETTINGS button. Highlight DPMI_DOS_API in the listbox. Lastly, make sure ENABLED is chosen in the upper right pulldown listbox, and save. In the DOS BOX under Settings | Session | Dos Settings, the mouse exclusive access must be set to off.
