I am running 2.6 DOS in Vista and I can't get the DOS box to go full screen. Also when I edit a PRG file I use a DOS text editor to do it and then when I exit it the DOS window closes out without giving me the option to save my changes.
 
Don't know about Vista, but Windows 7 doesn't support full screen mode. I'm guessing it would be the same.

As for saving changes, I reckon you'll have to save them before trying to close the window. Especially if you're just clicking on the red "X".

Even more Fox stuff at:
 
This workaround works farily well in Win7 for me, prob the same for Vista

- create a shortcut on the desktop for foxpro
- adjust the properties/font ( I use consola/28 point )

You can resize the window to close to full screen in this manner
