I created the qbasic directory on the c: drive in dosbox, but I can't get the commands to work. I type in PRINT "Hello" and I get a message back saying Illegal command. What am I missing?
Qbasic itself ?

How to ask questions the smart way!
From what I understand, dosbox points to the C: drive on my laptop and starts qbasic from there. But I can do nada.
DOSBox won't automatically start QBasic. You have to run it yourself. You have the qbasic.exe? It does not come with DOSBox.
I've written a program in qbasic and saved it, but I can't figure out how to get it to run!
I got it to save a program I wrote, but I can't figure how to execute the program.
qbasic /run source.bas
Thanks, zirkoni!
You run it from inside of the qbasic editor. Menu Bar > Run > Start
Or hit, shift+f5
qbasic, the stripped down version included with DOS, does not have a complier to create stand alone .exe files. You'd need to find your self a full copy of QuickBasic to do that.
Why are there two threads for the same problem from the same poster?
No idea! I'll merge them...
