SUMMARY
Using the WIN.INI switch MAXIMIZED=1 under the [TERMINAL] setting in your WIN.INI file permits Terminal to start in full-screen mode.

MORE INFORMATION
To use this switch, follow these steps:

 Locate the [TERMINAL] section in the WIN.INI file.  Add the line "MAXIMIZED=1" to this section, and then save the WIN.INI file.  To allow the updated WIN.INI file to be re-read, either restart Windows or force the file to be read by using a Control Panel utility such as Colors.

NOTE: Contrary to a PC Magazine article published on September 10, 1991, the MAXIMIZED setting only affects Terminal. It does not affect other applications, including Help, in Windows 3.1.
