DOSBOX defaults to an 80 x 25 text screen. Is it possible to change this, say, to 80 x 40, thus emulating the MODE CON command?

Yes. The Freedos mode command works:

I didn't bother to check the DOS one, but I'd wager it does as well.

I've no doubt that FreeDOS has a mode command. My question related to DosBOX.

OK, I see what you mean. From what you suggest, I deduce that there is no such facility in DosBOX.

Thanks
