I'll look closer in the forums. I think I saw a method where someone 
dragged and dropped a file and it magically installed itself. Might be 
completely wrong.

I want my qbasic prog to use com1 on the eeepc which doesn't have a serial 
port, only usb. From what I gather, 0.72 allows ttyUSB0 to become com1. I 
tried with 0.65 and it didn't work. So far, dosbox is great and qbasic in 
dosbox is great, Just need com1 -> ttyUSB0 next.
