Size of Command Prompt Window

[Hank]

I am trying to increase the size of a dos window running
in windowsXP.

When I run the command prompt alone, I can adjust the
size of a dos window displayed under windows to fit the
screen. From Alt+spacebar - Properties - Font I can put
size at 10x18 and then in layout I can increase buffer
size to w=94 and h=300 and size to w=94 and h=33, which
fills my screen.

When I run my Lotus 123 for windows, I can go to the same
settings, but the window that results seems to have a max
size somewhere around w=80 and h=25. The Window Preview
box will show the window enlarging if I increase those
values, but when I click OK, the window is no larger.
Seems that the max height or width is controlled by
the "size" in the font window.

Any way around that? Back in Win 98 I could expand the
dos window to fit the screen - now can use only about 2/3.
It really scrunches up the spreadsheet numbers.

why not just use it full screen? Alt+Enter
