: : How can you increase the size of DOS EDIT screen
: : characters in a EDIT file? Then how can you
: : decrease character size or go to the default
: : character size?
: If you mean MS-DOS of yesteryear, there are but two sizes: a 40-character wide screen and an 80-character. The two commands are:
: mode co40
: mode co80
: If you're talking about the CMD prompt in XP, right-click your CMD prompt and select Properties, then select Font and/or Layout.
If I recall correclty, EDIT (at least the one shipped with Win9x and above) accept a "/h" parameter, which will set the screen mode to 80 columns and 50 lines, and then revert to the original mode when EDIT is closed.
