Seems good, so you probably made typos.
That or your c:\users\orla\dosgames\ has typos somewhere.
Check and double check friend.
What it says in the dosbox window? |

I've double checked so many times, I cant figure it out! I even tried \Dosgames\ with a capital D to see if that made a difference. Nada.
When I open dosbox it says:
Z:\>SET BLASTER=A220 17 D1 H5 T6
Z:\>SET ULTRASND=240,3,3,5,5
Z:\>SET ULTRADIR=C:\ULTRASND
Z:\> |

What happens when you type those lines at the prompt?
mount c c:\users\orla\dosgames\
c:
[Edit]
BTW, the prompt is that Z:\> thingy.
*sigh* |

ok, clever, didn't type that in, thought it did it automatically. ok so I've typed that in but now I'm utterly confused! is the next step to install the game??
I downloaded Keen into c:\users\orla\dosgames\temp so the install file is in ...\dosgames\temp\keen
I typed cd temp into the dosbox but when I tried to type install next it said "illegal command"
I'm obviously missing something here....help please! |

Then you must go in c:\users\orla\dosgames\temp\keen and type install.
Your dosprompt must be something as c:\temp\keen\
Must say you're a promising member.  |
