Command: screen
SCREEN sets the number of lines of text on screen.
SCREEN is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.
Syntax:
screen=xx
Options:
xx (Codes):
0x11 8x14 font (28 lines VGA, 25 lines EGA)
0x12 8x8 font (50 lines VGA, 43 lines EGA)
0x14 default VGA font (25 lines VGA)
Comments:
SCREEN switches into videomode xxx (INT10/11xx/000).
Some newer graphics cards may not have 8x14 fonts in the BIOS. In that
case, a driver can be loaded to load a suitable font in RAM, but
SCREEN=0x11 should not be used. If xx is less than 15 (0x0f), it is
treated as screen mode number, for example 1 for CGA 40x25 color text
or 7 for monochrome text.
SCREEN is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
screen=0x12
