DOS and Batch Files - Double your Lines

 

SUMMARY: Increase your DOS prompt's number of lines from 20 to 50, even if you are running DOS from Windows.

 

Type the following in a DOS prompt to double the amount of lines (this works in a batch file, too):

MODE CON COLS=80 LINES=50

If you are strictly running DOS, you must have ANSI.SYS installed for this to work. If you are running a DOS prompt underneath Windows, this should automatically work.
