As far as I know, you're going to be stuck with one of those half-sized windws
when maximized,
since the DOS box has to be a specific size. Take for example, a 12 x 20 size
font, in a screen
that is 80 x 25 characters. the screen will be 960 x 500, so even when
maximized, the window
will still be that size (plus the size of the toolbar, etc) your best bet is to
find a decent
font size which best matches the size of your screen.

Thanks for replying. What I meant was hard to describe. On my computer, when
I open the euphoria editor for instance, it appears inside a window which I
cannot maximize, the only way to maximize it is by ctrl-enter, then it takes
over the whole screen and makes multitasking difficult. I want to write a
program which utilizes graphics-mode 261, yet is within a window which can
be maximized, but not take the whole screen. I guess I'm asking what the
best way to perform windowed-graphics. Graphics within a window which can be
maximized to almost the entire screen, just leaving the windows taskbar on
bottom, with the traditional minimize and maximize buttons on top. I thought
maybe there was some win32 routines I could use, that would be fairly simple
to implement. You know what I mean though? One giant window which I can run
a graphical program inside, which still fits with the rest of the windows
environment.
