Msg: DOSBox-X-App for Mac Clipboard function

Many thanks for all the work on DOSBox-X-App.

It opens and displays XY4 fast and beautifully with a little autoexec.bat file.

My one glitch is clipboard pasting from the Mac OS.

When I press Ctrl-Option-F4 it doesn't paste the copied Mac text. Instead, it closes the XY4 file.

My keyboard file doesn't have an entry for CTRL-ALT 115 = (F4) but perhaps it's something XY4 has assigned in some overriding way?

I'd appreciate any workaround.

And if anyone has written a macro for the other clipboard direction--send text to B:\Printout\CLIP437.TMP--to work on one key combo, that would be a bonus. But that method is working fine, and I'll try my own rusty XPL soon.

Big Sur might get a chance on my Mac after all!

Thanks.

The DOSBox-X-App for the Mac (an Applescript wrapper around a custom

build of DOSBox-X) is now a universal application, means that it runs

natively (and amazingly quickly) on M1 Macs, in addition to running in

the usual way on Intel Macs.

Thanks again to Wengier for his terrific work on DOSBox-X, the app that

makes it possible to run any DOS application on modern Macs.
