Of course, it's possible.  Type "Alt-x mode4350 RET" and see for
yourself.

Please take a moment to read the "MS-DOS" chapter in the on-line
manual, it describes all the DOS-specific features, including how to
set up different screen sizes.  The sample init file, called
`_emacs.xmpl', which comes with the DJGPP distribution, includes
specific examples of how these and other features should be used;
please look at that file as well.  You could simply rename
`_emacs.xmpl' to `_emacs' and see if you like what it does.  It is
much easier to change an existing init file than to create your own
from scratch, especially for a novice.
