For the flashing: did you try the Dosbox option of "auto locking" the mouse? (I use D-Fend as a front end, so no idea how to activate that option using DOS commands)
To Fubb: in the beginning just use the route Athens - Istanbul hauling art and carpets. The trip is short so you don't need to stack that much food or water. It's been ages since I played but 30 of each should be more than enough for a small crew.
The price differences between Athens and Istanbul on art and carpets are big enough to make a nice profit on each trip. Repeat, repeat, repeat until you have enough money to buy a better ship with more cargo capacity. Keep in mind though that you need to keep enough cash on hand to be able to buy cargo!
