If what you are asking is actually "Can I increase the number of lines in the command prompt window?", then the answer is yes.

For older versions of Windows, type the command:

mode co80,50

For newer versions of Windows, type the command:

mode con,lines=50

I've found out that allegedly the cmd function in 2K and XP does it, if that's the case would I be able to transplant it into the older OS?
No, you can't.
