key delay in dosbox, not fullscreen

We are running a dos bookkeeping program under win98. When I start the (bookkeeping) program in a dosbox there is a delay while I type. If I turn to Full sreen, this delay is gone. How can I get rit of the delay in de dosbox?

As far as I know, there is no way to lose this delay. It's caused by the interface between winders and DOS.
