more lines?

I have DOS 6.22 on one of my computers and was wondering if it was possible to make more columns/lines in dos text mode. Programs, tweaks, anything will be accepted.

You could put a small QB program in your autoexec:

Code: Select all

SCREEN 0
WIDTH 80, 50
SHELL
I'm pretty sure you'll be able to run dos in 50 lines now.

Actually, you may. Some DOSes I've worked with start up in Screen 12. It's there just in case you aren't in Screen 0.
