Default Half size DOS screen; can it be made bigger?

I still use DOS with my Brief editor and several other programs. Using
Microsoft Windows XP (vsn 5.1.2600) I cannot get the full lines to display
horizonally, and the vertical length is also truncated.

Is there some way to get the screen to display the same view as a machine
that runs earlier window versions (and real DOS machines) do?

Thanks for any help.

Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut and then go to Properties |
Layout.

I have no idea why you posted to an OE NG.

Real DOS machines? Yes. But I don't think you'll like it...

Press Alt-Enter


Thanks for any help.
