Now there's a leading question if ever I heard one! <vbg>

I really think you're looking at this backward. What you do should be
driven by the problem, not by the tool. Don't start with a hammer and then
try to find a nail so you can use your hammer. But if you have a nail that
needs to be driven, look a for a hammer and find out to use it.

My command prompt window is small, only about 1/10 of the monitor screen
size. How can I tell the machine to size it larger so I can really work with
the material in it?

Hi Richie,

Right click on the little command window at the top left and select
Properties. From there you can change a lot of things.

See if this helps;

Open a command prompt window.
Right click the Taskbar entry for the window and select
Properties from the menu.
Click on the Layout tab.
On the Layout page, change the values assigned to Width and
Height in the Window Size box . You should see the changes
reflected in the Window preview.
Click OK.
In the Apply Properties dialog that pops up, select "Save
properties for future windows with same title".
Note: If you launched the command prompt window from a shortcut
on your Start menu, you'll see the "Apply Properties to
Shortcut" dialog. Select "Modify shortcut that started this
window".
Click OK.

Good luck
