What a neat trick! It works in a DOS window in Windows 95 by increasing the
number of lines in a window without making the font smaller. Very useful for
long messages.
I'll have to experiment and see if there's a setting that makes the window
essentially full-screen -- probably about 38 lines with the font I normally
use.
Best,
