In a word, NO! Sorry, it's just one of the limitations of Windows, you
can't have DOS windows bigger than 25 lines...

Actually, I have just had a thought!!! You *MIGHT* be able to use 50
line mode, but.. no it isn't possible, windows just ain't that
flexible...

No, you can't change the video mode of a DOS window (_I think_), if it is
full-screen tho it ain't a problem...

And don't give up on Windows just yet, Windows 95 is just round the corner!
