CTRL-q would be "Quit", correct?

Maybe you have set "1" as a hotkey within the game.

Well, I've got some free time today and was going to restore Dosbox and Rubybox back up with the latest updates.

By the way, I always liked Wizardry.

In fact, maybe you should look at the translation patches I made for the Gameboy Color versions.
Wizardry Trilogy

You can run them under the Gameboy Color emulator for the Tablet.

Anyway, I'll look into it and hopefully post back something tomorrow.
