Bill, did you ever get an answer to your question? You're referring to DOSBox-X, yes? I can't speak
to Macs, but in Windows the configuration file is "dosbox-x.conf"; I assume that it's the
same for the Mac version. Also, when I upgraded to the latest version of DOSBox-X in Windows, the
installation program gave the option to preserve the existing configuration. I imagine that the
installer for Mac provides the same option.
