OK I can open a new command shell using Shell(cmd.exe.....)
I can even set the prompt, title, color and starting directories with this version:
retval = Shell("cmd.exe /K CD %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% && PROMPT $P$G && TITLE miniInfo command shell && COLOR b", 1)

Does anyone know how to set the properties that control the screen buffer size?
If you do, where did you find the information??

You can email back to [email protected] also.
