DOSBox issue

Greetings,

I am trying to run Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS through DOSBox on my iMac. For some reason, once I start Lotus, everything on the screen turns into some weird color scheme and almost nothing on the screen is visible. Lotus is still running and responding to commands--the only problem is the color scheme which makes text pretty much invisible (i.e. gray letters on gray background).

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

DOSBox seems to work best with support for a huge variety of games, but has a limited DOS library. Maybe the video/color support in the DOS emulator does not support the range of commands that might be needed in the autoexec.bat for Lotus 1-2-3 ?
Or, your config.sys does not have the right command to use ANSI.SYS.
You might find Lotus 1-2-3 setup configurations in a public library (maybe), but you may be limited by DOSBox itself.
