Bigger window
Is there a way to make my qbasic screen any bigger?
It would be a lot easier to see all of my code at once rather than having to scroll through different parts.

You could also edit your code in a text editor like SciTE http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDownload.html and then switch to run the QBasic ide when you want to test and debug your code. Then you'll be able to see a lot more of your code and (at least if you're running XP) you won't have to worry about QBasic taking up as many processor cycles all the time. (If you care about that.)

Right click on the top, blue bar where Microsoft QuickBASIC is, then select Defaults, select the Layout tab. In the second frame on the right-hand side, change the height to 39. This should allow up to 36 visible lines on your screen.
