I have a lot of DOS programs which I like to run in Windows DOS-boxes. After
installing WinXP I find that I cannot get a decent-sized DOS-box. After
fiddling with fonts the best I get is one that covers one third of the
screen area. Can anyone tell me how to get a DOS-box to fill the screen?

Thanks

Height to 25.
Go to SHORTCUT and Run Maximized.
This is the same as the settings of DOS command: Mode Con:

I run DOS on a daily basis and still LOVE it!
After you open the DOS block, hold down the Alt key and press Enter.
Happy putering.
