  MODE CON LINES=50
Indelibly burnt into my long term memory. You needed an EGA or higher graphics card though.



There was also LINES=43 for EGA (640×350, rather than VGA's 640×480).

MODE CO80 was for 80-column colour. ``MODE MONO'' switched to MDA/monochrome VGA mode (if you hadn't used &b700-b7ff for a UMB.)

MODE CO40 for the 40-column mode intended for the original IBM PC when used with an analogue TV set as its display.


Didn't 'MODE MONO' need a Hercules graphics card though?
