Hello
I am using QBASIC but the thing is it does not support full screen so I came to know that if I open with dosbox I can watch it full screen, so how do I open it using dosbox. Please help me out. [/b]

QBasic doesn't support fullscreen, or DOSBox?

Create a folder in the root of your hard drive called "DOSAPPS". Copy the folder containing the Qbasic files to that folder. When you open up DosBox, type "mount c C:\DOSAPPS", then type "C:".

Once you're at the C:\ prompt, go into the Qbasic folder, usually by typing something like "cd QBASIC".

Run Qbasic by typing "QBASIC", then hit the alt and enter keys simultaniously to go fullscreen once you're in the program.

Once you're done using Qbasic, exit Qbasic by pressing alt+F then X, and exit Dosbox by typing "exit".

I know my explanation is rather basic (pun completely intended 😁), but sometimes people forget this stuff.
