      I am an amateur QBASIC programmer, and I was wondering if it was possible to program in QBASIC with DOSBox. I've tried entering "qbasic" into the prompt, which starts it up on the real MS-DOS. Help?

        @IceChes1 The 'real' MS-DOS included QBasic, Dosbox doesn't include it, since it's not open source. You can get QBasic from an MS-Dos installation and run it inside DosBox - it should work just like in MS-Dos.

        If you want an open source alternative, you can try FreeBasic.
