click on Options

Full screen: Alt + Enter
When you exit from the DOSBox (precisely when you unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ has been mounted) all the files you have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ will be copied into the source directory (The directory which contains folder TC)
Don’t use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because that might be a shortcut key for DOSBOX also. E.g. Ctrl + F9 will exit DOSBOX rather than running the code.
