Here's the line from my startup-sequence:

LoadWB delay                           
newshell newcon:0/10/580/190/CreeperDOS

This actually doesn't open up a full screen, but just enough so you can still
get at your WB disk icons, and still see the title bar.  For one that covers
the whole screen, use something like this:

newshell newcon:0/0/640/200/CreeperDOS

Where CreeperDOS is the name of the window.  The other params are pretty
obvious
