It looked as though DosBox would be of great value to me. Getting it to do what I wanted presented a problem. I opened the README file. It started with FAQs. None of the questions was about my query, so I closed the file. Now, I do realise that there is more information there, but don't find it as …

All most helpful, and interesting. Don't feel so bad now about my ingorance. (I don't use DosBox for any games.
