Setting Command Prompt Window Size programmatically

[Dino Buljubasic]

Hi,

How can I set the Command Prompt window size programmatically in Java.
I am quite new in Java, but would like to be able to set the size of
Command Prompt (Windows OS) window when main starts before doing
anything else.

Thank you

You cannot, not in Java. Inside the normal command shell, you can use

mode con cols=x
mode con lines=x

but I'm not sure how to get Java to do that before it starts executing
the program.

This is outside the scope of this newsgroup -- ask around on the
microsoft newsgroups about it.

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c mode con cols=80 lines=50
