Changing the resolution of a virtual terminal

[Pete Holsberg]

When I invoke a virtual terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F*, I get a very low 
resolution screen.

I'm using a  Dell 15" LCD monitor and would like the kind of resolution 
I get when I'm using the "Terminal" application in Gnome.

Is there an easy way to get this?

Thanks.

do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away 
from children."
