I was wondering if there was a way to make the command prompt take up whole screen when i run the program, so it looks the same on everyones computer. Also is there a way to change the font or color? Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Not quite sure on this subject. A shortcut would be another option. This post has been edited by kenash88: 13 Oct, 2006 - 12:57 PM

Thank you for your time and thoughts. The command prompt (AFAIK) can be adjusted by the properties in the shortcut. In the days of DOS, you had the entire screen to use, but this is no longer true. If you want to give theprogram some zing, redirect the stdin and stdout handles to a GUI. See MSDN on "console redirecting" or here
