Yes..  absolutely.  But there is something about the console-look that just
seems backward-looking.  My brain is saying "we ought to be able to do much
better than that by now".  lol

I experimented with the program launching in 640x480 mode.  Yep.. it fills the
entire screen, but that is too big. There doesn't seem to be an intermediary
size option in the Properties from Windows.

I tried vDOS, but it just switches the screen to full mode just like I can do
easily in WinXP.

I came across some DosBox video that showed window resizing and font resizing
on the fly by just dragging the corners!  That's would be very good.  But
OpenXP complains that it needs to be run in Win32 environment.  :(

Do you mean in Config/Display/Lines?  THAT might be doable.  I'd like to have a
 wider and taller reading and writing area.  Trying 35x120 is a workable start.
 And I can drag that window around as desired.

You do realize that you made me google that.  :(
