How do you make the window bigger?

[sumthinelse]

I have some apps ported from DOS and linux which run in small windows. I set "Run Maximed" in the shortcut but that didn't work. The original apps ran in a larger screen....

Did they run in a bigger screen, or in a lower resolution?

It could be that they ran originally in 640x480, and now you have your screen resolution at (say) 1024x768.

try pressing Alt + Enter once application is opened.
