Console application buffer size

Is there a way to change the buffer size of the console window when making a console application? I have a lot of messages that scroll of the buffer that I would like to see, but I can't find a way to increase the buffer size of the console. Is this something I have to do in Windows instead?

BTW using VB2005 express or VB2008 express.

Re: Console application buffer size

Did you try looking on MSDN? This page explains the members of the Console class, including listing public properties BufferWidth and BufferHeight, as well as a public method SetBufferSize() that would seem to do what you want.
