'Screen Expansion' in a ThinkPad X32 running WinXP

I hope this makes sense.

If I run C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe, then hit ALT+ENTER, the cmd.exe
program does not occupy the full screen.

Is there a way to tell the ThinkPad to have cmd.exe occupy the entire
screen?

Try hitting <Function> and <F7>

I'm not sure if it'll work on an X32, but on both my R51 and my desktop, I
created a shortcut for CMD.EXE, then edited the properties so that it runs
in full screen mode. Of course, there's no mouse there, so in order to
close it, you just type exit and hit [Enter]. So, rather than climbing down
the tree to it, I just double click on the shortcut, and I'm there. I also
adjusted the properties so that it displays in 80x25, just as in days of
old, when men were bold, and graphics were for sissies. :-)
