I use cmd alot and now I find that it's space for numbers of lines is limited. I tried setting and the defaults in the upper left hand corner but this is not giving as many lines as I need for a directory (Dir/s yada-yada). By the way, this is for WIN 7.

Hi, Do you mean the columes and lines displayed in CMD console? If so, refer to Oberwald's post. If you have any feedback on our support, please clickhereJuke Chou TechNet Community Support

No that's not what I meant i found. I was referring to the number of lines as a default. CMD shows a finite number of lines. I'm asking for how to set the default maximum number of buffered lines that CMD will store, Renee"MODERN PROGRAMMING is deficient in elementary ways BECAUSE of problems INTRODUCED by MODERN PROGRAMMING."

The lack of clarity is not in the way I asked the question. This is not your concern but I use a toolbar which invokes CMD. Renee "MODERN PROGRAMMING is deficient in elementary ways BECAUSE of problems INTRODUCED by MODERN PROGRAMMING." Me
