To make the console full screen hit Alt-Enter.  The same thing makes it 
windowed again.  To accommodate very long lines click the "C:\" icon in 
the upper left corner of the window, choose "Properties" and then change 
the "Screen Buffer Size" Width and Height to something more to your liking.

While you're there I'd recommend turning on "QuickEdit Mode" on the 
"Options" tab.  Then you can drag with your left mouse button to select 
an area of text, right click to copy, then right click again to paste.
