Bart,
I am beginning to think that it's a font problem. On my system I have,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf and in /etc/dosemu.conf I have,
$_X_font = "vga" # basename from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*
# (without extension) e.g. "vga".
Yet, this does not solve the problem with xdos.
With the cursor in the aterm running the app in xdos, pressing alt-200
does nothing visible.
And, running regular dos -C in an aterm yields the same results.
