done it!
there were some 'issues' with dox box. when using it to install norton commander, you are effectively 'locked' into dosbox, so you can't get out to the desktop to scroll down your web page guide to see what step to take next.
the only way i could do this was cntrl/alt/del, which gave me back control of the mouse to use the desktp!

i have heard that the cdshock exe is the best to run, as it has all the cut scenes etc.

one thing:
i was confused by the inst/initial.exe.
there was sound set-up options, so i made sure they were set as described in your guide. when i came to the option to 'save and quit', i was told i need to install it (strange, as the game runs fine from the exe of course..).

You could also alt+tab out of it...

There also an option in the config file to set the "mouse trap" feature off (although it is really helpful when playing mouse-driven games in windows mode). Look for "autolock=true" in DOSBox.conf, and change it to "autolock=false". But, again, I think it's better get used to alt+tab out of it, because autolock is really useful.

ah, alt-tab!

thnx for that. i'll stick with that
