So, I'm sure this is a common, rookie question but for the life of me I can't find the answer anywhere. I want to increase the DOSBOX window size. I don't want it full screen, but it's so small right now. Unfortunately, I cannot drag the corner of the window like normal. Help please!

I checked the readme file, as well as other resources, before posting here. All I saw in the readme was how to make it full screen, which I do not want to do. Could you point to a specific line of the readme that perhaps I am overlooking or misunderstanding? Or simply post it here?

The answer is not in the readme file. Instead, it is in the config file.

Set output to something else besides surface. Then set windowresolution to whatever you want (say, 800x600).
