How do I run DOS apps in full screen mode throug Remote Desktop Connection

Hello. I am using RDP to connect to a server and run a
DOS application. The application is sooooo tiny, I can
hardly see it.

When I run the DOS application locally, I have the option
to press "Alt" + "Enter" to run the app in "full screen"
mode. But when I'm running it through RDP, it doesn't
respond to "Alt" + "Enter".

If the resolution settings in RDP config, the actual
window gets bigger, but the dos application stays the
same size.

Does anyone know how to either change the size of the DOS
window or allow it to run in full screen mode?

Any suggestions appreciated.

You'll never be able to run any DOS window in XP because XP doesn't
have DOS in it. Now, the command prompt window, now that's another
story.....
