A creature called Phil Crown screamed at All:

 PC> Is there any way to change OS/2 from defaulting to 80x25
 PC> text screen mode? 

 PC> For example, I want to run spawnlp( P_SESSION, ... and have
 PC> the screen in 80x28 line text mode.  However, the screen
 PC> size defaults to 80x25 and I can't find anyway to change it.

   I run an AUTOOS2.CMD file by using the line:

SET OS2_SHELL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /kc:\autoos2.cmd

   In this file, I have the command:

MODE 80,30
  
   which makes the screen 80x30.  You could also do something like spawn
CMD.EXE with the parameter /kauto.cmd where auto.cmd is your autoexec-like
thing, as is my AUTOOS2.CMD.
