Unfortunately, this does not always work. Under certain
circumstances, which are the fault of Microsoft and, or,
the author(s) of video card drivers, a DOS box will not
resize to full-screen, but instead minimize, or, perhaps,
shift window positioning. The only means for readily
remedying the situation is to change resolution, first.
