CMD command

[MarkC]

Using XP Sp3

I don't use the CMD that much, mainly when I use ipconfig. When I do, the
text extends across past the window. There is no horizontal scroll bar to
see past that. Any suggestions on setting the CMD window to scroll across,
or extend it? The window is locked horizontal so I can't extend it.

I don't understand your last sentance.

Click the icon in the upper left of the title bar. Choose Properties |
Layout and change the Screen Buffer Width to be the same as the Window
Size Width. This should cause the text to wrap at the edge of the
window.

Thanks NIL, the settings you mentioned below were both at 80, I changed to
120 which worked ok. The last sentence, was meant to explain that the DOS
window cannot be stretched horizontal (expand). Even when the mouse hovers
the side borders and shows the double arrows, the DOS window size doesn't
expand, thus locked horizontal. However, it can be stretched (expand)
vertical...

Just curious when set to 80, as to why there is no horizontal scroll bar,
just a vertical one. Go Figure.

Because 80 is precisely at the last screen position the window shows; it's
not bigger than the window.
