I am a big Lemmings fan, and am trying to run the old lemmings dos games. Unfourtuanately, these games require the use of function keys. I am using windows xp, and for some reason I can't get the function keys to work in dos. Can someone tell me how to get these working so that I can relive the old days?

How about booting from a floppy and try to run it that way? XP does not have a `real' Dos.
