Hi. I know that pressing the Alt+Enter key will toogle a DOS window in XP back and forth from full screen and regular size.

I wrote a simple .BAT application that launches my DOS program, but I can't figure out how to get it to launch in FULL SCREEN. I know it's possible, but simply including a simple line in my code. Just can't figure out what that is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

When the DOS app opens in a window, right click in the title bar, click on Properties, click the Options tab, and select Full Screen. When you click OK, a dialog box should open. Select the option to "modify shortcut that started this window."

That's exactly what I'd call it too.

How would you put it, without a stack of words?
