Rainbow question: CodeBlue

Hello, Rainbow experts,

I've seen and used CodeBlue (the PC-DOS emulator for the Rainbow) a little,
but there's something that I never could figure out.  I assume (that may be a
mistake) CodeBlue emulates the PC's "Alt" key, otherwise many PC compatible
programs wouldn't work.  How does CodeBlue emulate the Alt key (if it does)?
i.e., What key or keys become the Alt key when running CodeBlue?

If CodeBlue does do the Alt key, I'll probably be looking to get (even pay
money for :-) MS-DOS 3.10b and CodeBlue; that is, if they're still available.

Thank you all.
