erm... lemme see... DOS keyboard layout are diffrent from the Windows keyboard layout...

So actually you are using an American (or English) and it shows as an English (or American)...
Try the settings for the dos-box...

omg!!! You use QuickBasic but don't know DOS... That's like not knowing that there actually was a good OS before Windows ever stepped in... yeah... DOS the good old days of a stable (atleast more then Windows) Os.

hehehe

Seb, Nathan:
Haha n00bs! You know QB/DOS but dont know ASM.. lmao! N00bs!

Ray, you could always try FreeBasic, it's a windows based version of QB, with the exact same commands available.
