dosemu 1.0.2.1, FreeDOS, and MS-DOS 6.22

[Ralph Alvy <ralvy@compuserve.com>]

It's been a few years since I've run Linux. Just returned to it. On my 
Redhat 8 installation I have installed the latest stable version of 
dosemu (1.0.2.1), along with the version of FreeDOS that's on the same 
Stable Releases page at www.dosemu.org.

I find that FreeDOS loads and works fine with lredir. But certain DOS 
apps important to me won't load with it. So I tried using MS-DOS 6.22 
instead, by creating an msdos directory under ~/mydos/dosemu, and then 
copying my MS-DOS files to that directory (~/mydos/dosemu/msdos). I then 
changed dosemu.conf to point to 'msdos' instead of 'freedos'. This fails 
to complete its bootup. I see it go through some of the autoexec.bat and 
then do it again for some reason, and then wait for me to forcefully 
terminate the terminal session. Any attempt to use lredir is met with my 
seeing only the 'l' (from 'lredir') on the screen, and then I must 
forcefully terminate the session.

The download didn't include Quick Start, which I remember from a few 
years ago helping me. Pointing me to relevant docs would be appreciated, 
if you think they might clear up this problem for me.
