   Hello Herbert,   
      
   It's been a real long time since we met - do you remember me? We used to post   
   on this group together and write assembly language. I used to call myself   
   Laura in those days... :-) I am trying to get 80x24 in full screen mode,   
   changing the font has some effect but it's still too small for my liking   
   and I am a stickler for the 80x24 standard terminal size. I somehow   
   convinced Linux to do it years ago and my older (much) laptop is running   
   happily in 80x24 on Linux. Now I've got to try to remember how I changed   
   that in Linux because I also run Linux on my new laptop and the default   
   is even smaller than the Windows terminal default. Okay, this is not a Linux   
   group I know and the question I am asking is not about Linux, it's about   
   how to get 80x24 standard terminal size in Windows 10 Pro running CMD or   
   COMMAND on a full screen.   
      
   Nice to see you again dear !   
      
   Regards from,   
   Lori
