I can't seem to run any DOS programs full screen in RC1 32-bit. Is this a
limitation of Vista or just my system?

Try running "cmd" from Start and then right click on the icon in the Header
and select Properties. You can resize the command box from there using the
Layout tab.

Can a DOS program run in a full screen?
I received a reply that full screen is no longer supported in another thread.
However, the response also said it wasn't supported in XP which is inaccurate.
The properties tab for the startup icon to the prgram has a full screen
mode, but couldn't get to work using my Nvidia Geoforce FX5200 adapter.
Alt+Enter didn't
work either on my RC1 installation. Does full screen work in the final
release?

Ok, something weird is happening here Mike. I opened CMD typed help hit
enter, then click the CMD title bar window icon, then I saw the option for
full screen mode.

But after I exited and reopened CMD, and followed the same procedures, its
missing. :-s
