[Ham-Computers] RE: DOS running in Windows

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

You won't find this info in a DOS manual because it's not a DOS function
- it's a Windows function.  The DOS "window" is just a virtualized DOS
session running under Windows - it happens to be running in a window
because a standard 80x25 text mode fits in a window (btw, you can change
the size of the font using the preferences for the window).

When you click on the "full screen" (4 arrows) button of a DOS "window"
in Win9x, it changes the actual video mode to 80x25 (720x480 pixels)
text-only.  To switch back to "windowed" mode, press <ALT><ENTER>.  To
stay in 80x25, but switch to another Windows task, use <ALT><TAB> - you
can use <ALT><TAB> at anytime in Windows to switch between all running
apps.  

<ALT><TAB> is just one of many keyboard shortcuts.  Start the Windows
"Help" application and type "keyboard shortcut" in the "Index" tab to
learn about additional shortcut keys.

What I need is the DOS command to reset the screen out of a full screen.
I think it's either an Alt-Enter or perhaps Alt-End, but I may be
mistaken.
