Hello;

Could someone please remind me of how to display the horizontal and vertical
scrollbars on the command prompt window (DOS box) ??
The MODE command does not show the relevant options/constants!!
Will the new display be the default ??
(Win XP)
Thank you kindly.

This has nothing to do with VBDOS, which is the topic of this NG.

And I know nothing about XP, so this advice may be out of date.

Make the virtual window larger than the actual window, and apply the changes to all future uses of the shortcut that opened the DOS box.

Jim;
You're correct! The scrollbars are displayed on the command prompt window
when I made the actual window smaller than the buffer window.
In fact, dragging any one of the 4 window sides inward by a very small
amount (~ 1 mm) led to the display of the horizontal and vertical scrollbars!!
The same result could also be realized by reducing the numerical size of the
actual command prompt window via its Prperties menue option/Layout tab.
The only difficulty remaining is that the new properties could not be made
the "default" properties for future uses by checking "modify shortcut that
started this window". But at least, I could now have the scrollbars
displayed in individual uses.
Thanks again for your advice.
Regards.
