alter them and start DOSBox with the -conf switch to load the file and
use these settings.
DOSBox will first parse the settings in ~/.dosboxrc (Linux),
~\dosbox.conf (Win32) or "~/Library/Preferences/DOSBox Preferences"
(MACOSX). Afterwards DOSBox will parse all configfiles specified with the
-conf switch. If no configfile is specified with the -conf switch, DOSBox will
look in the current directory for the DOSBox configuration file.
DOSBox will parse configuration files that are specified with -conf. If
none were specified it will try to load "dosbox.conf" from the local
directory. If there is none, DOSBox will load the user configuration
file. This file will be created if it doesn't exist. The file can be
found in ~/.dosbox (Linux) or "~/Library/Preferences" (MAC OS X).
Windows users should use the shortcuts in the startmenu to find it.
