Hi,
I have many clients who use DOS based business program with XP.
I know how to get full screen by changing the program's shortcut properties with XP Home edition - FONT = 10 X 18, LAYOUT = Buffer size 80/25, Window size 80/25, OPTIONS = Full Screen.
However, I have a client using XP Pro who (over the phone) tells me his shortcut's properties window has different TAB markers. The FONT was ok, and we found the Full Screen option. But we can't find where we can set Buffer size and Window size to 80 over 25 like we can on XP Home.
I even talked him through creating a new shortcut but it's properties window didn't seem to have the options we need either.
Any ideas on how to do this with XP PRO ?
P.S. Greetings from Australia.
