This is a rookie question.
I am running "Basic 2 DOSBox", which I download at qbasic.net.
This is DOSBox with preinstalled Quick Basic.
Problem is, I cannot find / see my qbasic programs on my C drive, or any file/folder for the matter.
What to I have to do to access my programs?
Thank you!

Generally speaking you need to mount a folder on the host machine to be visible from inside dosbox. Something like 'mount c d:\myprogs' will make a c: drive inside dosbox with the contents of the folder.
You really need to do some reading on the basics to get started, for example
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_I … ation_of_DosBox
or
https://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html

btw qbasic.net has these instructions on how to mount a folder on their tutorials page https://www.qbasic.net/en/qbasic-tutorials/do … ic-dosbox-1.htm
