I have discovered how to launch full screen on XP in DOS Mode.
Do the following.
Create a pif file in the normal way and place it on quick launch bar.
Edit it properties with right click, turning on full screen mode
option and saving it.
Launch the application using quick launch.
The application will start up in a window ( not in full screen )
Right click on the menu bar and select properties from the context menu.
Select full screen under Display options.
Click ok and a dialog box called Apply Properties will appear.
Select "Save properties for future windows with the same title"
and click ok
Now whenever you launch that DOS program with that title it will
launch in full screen.
This probably would be helpfull for running Euphoria programs.
I suspect that this maybe available on Vista maybe someone could
try it and let us know if it works there.

Vista does not support full screen DOS at all unless you are using standard VGA only.

Jim:
Take a look at the PIF under the compatibility TAB.
There are some display setting like run in 256 colors
and run in 640 X 480 and win95 and win98 mode
Maybe one of them would work in Vista.
