Gateway MX-6214 laptop not permitting full DOS Screen

Greetings ...

Wasn't aware until I explored the GATEWAY's Start Menu that a COMMAND PROMPT Link existed.

Everything works great under it - WHEW!

Saw that in a PDS 7.1 program.
It was solved by WIDTH 80,25

Assuming your Gateway has an external monitor port, try hooking
your HP monitor up and see what happens.

Hmmm. My Regular PC is hooked to an HP vs-17 monitor, which accepts full-screen DOS just fine.

Do not yet have Console Compiler - how are the latest monitors treating that in full-screen?

Lots of non-CRT displays do that, laptop or not.

A Gateway MX-6214 laptop is not permitting a full screen for DOS applications.

I've adjusted all known settings, but it keeps reverting to a window, or auto-minimizes itself, rather than full screen.
This is especially frustating because some PB-DOS apps use screen 12.

Suggestions?
