Changing size of Win2k/XP console?

[Chris Lambacher]

Referring to the documenation you will have to use that function and
SetConsoleWindowInfo to get the effect you want.  Basically
SetConsoleScreenBufferSize sets the size for the console and
SetConsoleWindowInfo sets the size for the window containing the console.  The
window size can't be bigger that the console size.  If the console size is
bigger than the window, you will end up with scrollbars.

You might want the get function as well:
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo

When in doubt about the Microsoft API see the MSDN.
