How to press the # key in a DOSBox game

dosboxmight-and-magic-book-one

I recently bought the 6-pack from Good Old Games and would like to play the first Might & Magic game. A friend told me that you can't use Shift-3 for pound (#) and I was wondering if this was accurate and if so how to map a key to the pound event in DOSBox? Thank you.

After refreshing my memory with the manual, the game is not expecting you to press the # key. It is expecting you to press a number that relates to the town you want to go to.

1 = Inn of Sorpigal
2 = Inn of Portsmith
3 = Inn of Algary
4 = Inn of Dusk
5 = Inn of Erliquin

To start the game, press 1, select all the characters (CTRL+A, CTRL+B, ..., CTRL+F) and then press X to exit the Inn.
