Topic: How do you control the size of the console

The console window is too small, both in width and length. Is there a way to control it's size?  Thanks.

Re: How do you control the size of the console

Are you talking about the "External Console" when a program is launched with Simply Fortran?  That console is a Windows Command Prompt, nothing more, and its size is restricted by whichever version of Windows you're currently using.  Windows 10 has lifted almost all the odd restrictions that earlier versions maintained, specifically the 80-column restriction.

If you're talking about the console within Simply Fortran, the * Console * tab, the tab is only constrained by the size of the Simply Fortran window itself.  It should be able to grow pretty large.

Do you have a screenshot of the issue?

I am referring to the "extenral console". I didn't realize it was Windows Command Prompt and can be resized. Thanks so much for your help.
