This also applies to NT 4.0 windows.  You "right click" anywhere in the
title bar and select properties.  The tab named "Layout" has buffer and
window size options.  Set buffer size to remember lines that scroll off
the screen, window size to set the default height/width you prefer on
startup.

Also, on the "Options" tab, there are two check boxes, for "Quick Edit"
and "Insert", which I prefer to use.  The default in Win2000 is to have
these checked, on NT 4.0 they are not checked.

When you close the properties box, you will be asked whether to apply to
the current session only or to the shortcut (or other item) used to
start this session.  This will affect ONLY this shortcut.  You will need
to change other shortcuts or startup methods (ie the Start->Run menu)
individually.  I believe you can also set global Console window
properties from the "Control Panel"->Console applet.
