Dear Bill
I don't use DOSBOX but the symptoms you are
reporting sound similar to those in DOS, VDOS
etc when you have not specified the location of XYWrite in the Path setting.
Happy Xmas

I've tried this many times and it simply never takes. And there does
seem to be a misfunction. For example, I invoke dosbox from a folder
called xyz. But when I try to save the map file, I get the console
message, cannot open file in xyz/xyz. (It repeats the name of the
folder.) So I created that dummy folder, and sure enough, the map file
got saved there. However, it still doesn't register. From dosbox I can
explicitly say, load this map file, and still the change will not occur.
After restarting dosbox, the mapper editor always shows the original
setting.
I also couldn't get any font setting to work. I tried Carl's settings,
but they just resulted in error messages, even when I eliminated all the
white space.
I also find that I cannot get the screen length commands to register,
and I can't get any ttf font to load. Should the font be included in the
dosbox folder? I have to invoke these commands from the dosbox menu,
laboriously, each time.
I am finding everything much speedier, but I still am annoyed by a
delay-before-repeat upon keypress and would love to be able to change that.

To save Wengier some trouble when answering:
Bill, Wengierâ¬"s instructions said nothing about adding a line to a
a
file. You use the top-line menu Main, then Mapper Editor, and then
follow Wengierâ¬"s instructions exactly as written. Click Save when done.
