Re: How to change dos window size

HI All

I saw this on a google search. What a shocking bunch of crap to answer
a real question with! The guy had the same problem I just had - ANSWER=
Its no good changing the MSDOS screen from start/ progs/ accessories.
Certainly in Windows ME It has to be changed from the running program,
so from the full dos screen use alt esc to close it to the taskbar and
then with your windowz back go to the taskbar and alt clic the msdos
and change the screen size to window, click it to open it again from
the task bar again and WoW ALL Done. cheers

Alt + Enter to toggle to and from full screen.

You do *not* have to open cmd.exe or command.com to get to Properties in XP.

Right click whatever cmd.exe shortcut you use | Properties |
Options tab | Select Window or Full screen under Display Options

Window
[[Specifies that the program will run in a window. This mode makes it easier
to share information with other Windows-based programs and is mostly used
for text-based MS-DOS programs.]]

Full screen
[[Specifies that the program will run in a full screen. This uses the least
memory and is mostly used to run graphics.]]

Also: Layout tab | Under Window size, set the Width and Height

For command.com, right click the shortcut | Properties |
Screen tab | Window or Full screen

That would all depend. As it is to do with a faulty program my solution is to do it correctly.
