Re: DOSBox-X version 0.83.20 on M1

[Bill Troop <billtroop@xxxxxxxxx>]

Carl just to say this is incredibly helpful.

Does this deal with the slow key-repeat speed?
And would it be helpful to give it more processor power to speed up 
things like directories, which seem slow?
Have others had stability problems? I am looking for a possible key 
combination problem.

Could you suggest the entry to map control onto the Mac command key?

 More later.

THANKS !!!!
