I guess this is due to the fact that the screen is 800x480 vs a VGA resoluzion in Dosbox, so there is no real correspondence between where the pointer is and where it is supposed to be...
Is there a way to magically fix it?
Hopefully you're using the RubyBox frontend for DOSBox (http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html). If not, install it since it makes changing these settings much easier. On the advanced settings page in RubyBox for Myst, try changing the sdl autock setting to false. This may or may not help, but sometimes freeing the cursor from being locked on the screen does help in some games. And on the basic settings page, play with different settings for sdl sensitivity. The default is 100. I usually try settings in the range +5 and -5 from 100. For Apogee's Mystic Towers game a 95 seemed to work best. Let me know if any of this helps and how Myst runs once you're able to move around.
