SUMMARY
You can set the number of lines on a display by using the following
MS-DOS MODE command
mode con lines = <n>
where <n> is the number of lines on the display. Valid n values are
25, 43, and 50. If this command is used with n=43 or n=50, and another
application is started, the number of lines may default back to 25
when the application is terminated.
NOTE: This problem does not occur with Microsoft MS-DOS version 6.0.
