     SUBJECT:Re: win10 pro 32 not doing full screen

    Hello Chad and Tony,

    I did never see the original message from Tony because echo mail has
    been very sporadic to me. Maybe I should change to another HOST.

    i am trying to get this box i have just for the bbs to work. i have
    win10 32b and i hit at+enter and says it does not support full screen. any one know how to fix this?

    windows past xp does not support full screen in a dos box, I had to
    fix this by installing xp video drivers

    I had the opposite problem in WIN 10 pro. Whenever I wanted to Save-as
    from my Thunderbird, the full screen was filled with a new window
    instead of half the size as before.

    I finally found a short-cut that decreased the size to half that size.
    It is Windows key + down arrow, The opposite happens when pressing
    Win+up arrow. There are several more Win+ shortcuts.

    Now, I don't run my BBS under Windows, and never will, and I don't know
    if these commands apply to a DOS window but I wanted to help.


    Have a nice day,

    Holger
