<SHIFT+CTRL+W> Set screen editing width. Using this command, you can select the
display mode (40 or 80 characters), and type the number of
characters per line you want - anything from 5 to 240. If the line
length becomes longer than the physical width of the screen, the
screen will become a horizontal as well as a vertical window onto
your text. Setting the editor line length to the same length as
printed lines means you can set tables out almost exactly as they
will print. You can skip setting the number of columns by just
pressing <Return>, and the value will be set to match the
physical width of the screen. The screen mode is saved in the
config file.
