Re: Increase console size regardless of screen size

I thought that was rows and cols for the variable names to do this, but could be wrong.

Subject:  Increase console size regardless of screen size

Howdy,
I am blind, and don't even have a screen connected to this computer. For some reason, my console size is 30 lines and 80 columns. I've not seen this small of a console before. they usually have 50+ lines and over 100 columns.

I have searched for quite a while, but not found anything about increasing the console size. I did find a python script that will set the screen to the actual size, but it returns 30 80 as well, so no luck there either. One site said you could just export the lines and columns you want, but that failed, even though the variables were set correctly.

Is there any way to set the lines and columns regardless of the size your computer believes the screen to be?
Thanks for any help,
Storm
