tinyE: You're using Steel Sky with Scumm? I use it for games that GOG doesn't carry because it is a beauty program but it's got it's glitches. Have you tried it with the normal DosBox setup that GOG sets up for you?
rubygloommel: It just automatically opened with Scumm when I downloaded it, I don't remember seeing any options to do otherwise anywhere so I assumed that was the default. I've not had the same problem with games I've put on it myself though.
You don't have to use the GOG version. You can download the original version for free directly from the ScummVM website, along with the latest version of ScummVM. I see that you did find a workaround, but I thought I'd mention it anyway in case you wanted to try it.
Psyringe: Yes. English spelling is generally much more civilised. :)
tinyE: That's obvious. I love the States but we do shit with the language that is beyond stupid.
Eddie Izzard has some fun things to say about the difference between American and British English:
