If this is just to set the current mode, then a much easier way is to use
MODE MODE
I know this looks odd, but the second MODE is used as a function, and
returns the current MODE. The first MODE then takes the returned value of
the second to set the MODE. The result is a full-screen, single tasking,
scrolling window rather like the old BBC days ... but in a rather higher
resolution.
But if the program depends on some aspect of the mode, then this may not
work.
