DOS Apps only Half-Screen in Win2K

When I run a DOS app in Win2K, it only fills half the window, or half of the full screen if I maximize. My users are complaining! Does anyone know of the right settings / parameters to use to overcome this? As a tantalizing hint, when I run Novell's RConsole on Win2K, the first screen, before I select a server, IS full screen, but when I get the actual server screen to display, it's half screen. There has to be a tweak!

with dos applications, you dont use the maximize button to do full screen, you press that button next to the font size, that looks like a dotted box

you use Alt+Space to bring up the properties for the console window, such as a way to exit back into windowed mode
