Some of us (W98SE and XP) use Uwe Seibert's fonts
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/dosfon_e.html. In 800X600 on a W98 machine I use
his 10X23 and it fills the screen and eliminates those scroll bars, giving
me 25 lines. You may not be able to fill the entire screen with 40, but you
can get close and still get rid of those bars, depending on the font.
