What about a full-screen DOS command-prompt session, with no scrollbar, or is
that not available in Windows XP?  My experience is with OS/2, not Windows, and
OS/2 from 2.0 to Warp 4.0 always had available full-screen or windowed DOS and
OS/2 command-prompt sessions, and the full-screen command-prompt session had no
scrollbar.  OS/2 DOS sessions also allowed graphic resolutions higher than
640 * 480.
