Alt-Enter will toggle between full screen and window mode.

Alt+Enter works .. however since its running on DosBox .. after full screen , the screen does not paints itself as you go on into different screens... it stays the same as the initial screen.. Nice find though ..

well... for me, under linux, it does resize itself to full screen. I dont know why it does not do so in windows.

ok here is another tip
Dosbox.conf - DOSBoxWiki

edit dosbox.conf file and change fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true

----------

Location for Windows XP:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\dosbox-{version}.confLocation for Windows Vista & Windows 7{system drive}:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\DOSBox\dosbox-{version}.conf

There are other options too, which you may want to try.

Like, fulldouble, fullresolution, windowresolution etc. See above link for more info.
