I'm having the blank command list as well. I searched the DosBox site for supported games list and the problem was listed there as well, so it's probably a DosBox bug.
The game manual says:
"When installing Spellcasting 101 or 201, select EGA graphics (640x350 16 color) rather than VGA or SVGA."
DosBox doesn't seem to support EGA (not sure if that would make a difference anyway) so I switched the machine type in DosBox conf file from VGA to TANDY and that fixed the blank menus. Too bad it rapes the graphics as well.
Also tried running it under VDMSound which screws textmenus up and directly under XP where it runs fine until the first picture and then suddenly closes the application.
I had blank menus in 201 also but fortunately VDMSound saved me there.
If someone can make it work properly please post here.
