I was able to reproduce your problem here. I  think your problem is
that you are bypassing the normal sytem handling of "return". Normally
the system should handle the converting from the external or system
representation of return and the internal representation. in this case
teh getxkey isn't returning the typical dos system "return", it only
gives you the linefeed. So I added a test for K_Return and hacked in a
quick fix. 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pc.h>
#include <keys.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
  int car;
  FILE *pf;

  clrscr();
  pf=fopen("prova.c","w");
  while((car=getxkey())!=K_F1)
  {
    if (car == K_Return) {
      car = '\n';
      putch('\r');
    }

     putch(car);
     fputc(car,pf);
  }
  fclose(pf);
  return 0;
}

Anyway, this version works here :) I added the putch('\r') to clean up
the screen display.
