I've got Heroes of the Lance but am stuck on controls.

I don't have a joystick and my computer doesn't have a classic "numpad".

I can get "up/down/left/right" arrows to work to navigate. I can also get "Enter" and "Space" and "Esc" to work.

That lets me navigate the characters and the menus.

But I'm unable to make any combat work. I'm just getting killed by the first monster.

I've literally tried every key on the keyboard to no avail.

Am I missing something here?

In DOSBox, if you press ctrl-F1 you open the DOSBox keymapper. From there, you can assign other keys to act as the numpad.

Perfect thank you so much. I didn't know about that but that literally solves all my problems here, thank you!

For reference there's a forum for these games over at Steam too. That can be a good source of information too. Here it is:
