   Sounds to me like he needs to fiddle with the settings for fonts.  I
   don't know Win 2000, but have Win XP.   I'll describe what to do
   there in the hopes it might be similar.

   To reset the font (and thus the window size), do a right click on the
   title bar (the blue bar at the top of the window).  That should bring
   up a menu.  Part way down that window, select "properties".  Click on
   it.  That should bring up another window where the properties are
   defined.  I use TT font, size 24 -- but your mileage may vary.  When
   you are done, you will be asked if you want that font size for all
   DOS windows or just this one.   Experiment with "just this one" until
   you are happy, then make it sticky by saying "all".

   If Win 2000 supports running a DOS program, then it supports BW.
