Resizing DOS window!

[Kent]

I am a beginning c++ program so this question may be too simplistic for this
group. Anyway, when I execute a program I have written, some of the information
I need to see disappears off the top of the Dos window. How can I resize
the Dos window to where my information does not disappear? I have tried changing
the screen properties in command.com but this only resizes the Dos window
for that application. It does not effect the Dos window in the c++ environment?

If I understand your question right then your DOS windows are simply scrolling
information... which is how a DOS window is supposed to work. You should
be able to use the scroll bar to review any information within the DOS window.
If your DOS window does not sport scroll bars, I can see how this would be
a problem. You might try re-routing output to your printer to see what happens.

Outside of using the Console API in your application...

The next time you run your application - note the window title. Either change
the settings there or create another with same title and adjust setting there.

Are you using NT by any chance? In NT you actually have two dos/console windows,
one for command.com and another for cmd.com. You might not be chewing on
the correct animal.

PS: Actually there can be more than just the two, it is also possible to
have cmd32.exe and short-cuts.
