Win 7 - Windows XP Mode - Command Prompt Window Size

Anonymous

I just bought a Win 7 Professional machine and downloaded Windows XP Mode so that I could run older (DOS-type) programs (such as WP 5.1).  Works fine.  Using my older XP Pro (and older) machines, pressing "Alt-Enter" would give me a full screen.  This does not work with Windows XP Mode.  Tried right-click on the Command Prompt label, although the option is there to provide a "full screen", all that appears is the left half.  The right margin cannot be moved.  Then, when opening WP, the lower margin is pulled up to make it, I assume, "proportional".  I spent a lot of money on this machine thinking I could use the XP Mode just like on a proper XP machine, but if I can't get a full screen I'll be MASSIVELY disappointed.  Any help available??

    Please see: How to Work with the Windows XP Mode Interface

    Going to the "How to Work with the Windows XP Mode Interface" did not address the Command Prompt window.  It did indeed otherwise max the others.
