Main Menu Small size window
Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 6:00 pm
Starting Quick Basic in Windows XP gives a small size Menu window. How can I increase the window size?
Alt+Enter ?
But here's how I do it, as I like to work in the dos emulator...
I have a shortcut to cmd.exe on my desktop. The cmd line is:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /t:1F/e:on
This opens the cmd window in full screen.
(Enter cmd/? to find out what the parameters are for..)
And I have a .bat file in the root of C: which is:
@echo off
CLS
D: (the drive where QBasic is held)
CD QB (making QB the default directory)
QB /l QB.QLB /ah (starting QBasic)
CD\ (returning to the root of D:)
C: (returning to the root of C:)
And being a lazy person I have yet another .bat file to return me to the Windows desktop:
@echo off
exit
This sure isn't the only way to achieve what I want but it does for me
Good luck
