SET WIDTH

  Sets the width to the number of columns you specify. This does not affect
  how many characters you can put on a line (which is determined by the
  right margin), but only how many characters are visible.

  Examples:

     Commands             Effects
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     SET WIDTH 132        Sets the width to 132 columns, which uses a
                          smaller video font. This lets you view very wide
                          text, such as multicolumn tables or source
                          programs that use progressive indenting, without
                          having to shift the window horizontally.

     SET WIDTH 80         Sets the width to 80 columns---typically, the
                          default---and uses the standard-size video font.

  Usage notes:

  o  Default width is your terminal setting, usually 80 columns. To find out
     the current width, use the SHOW command.

  o  SET WIDTH applies to all EVE windows, if you are using more than one.
     It also applies only to your editing session; when you exit or quit,
     the terminal setting is restored.

  o  SET WIDTH makes the right margin of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer one column
     less than the width. Buffers you create thereafter will have the same
     right margin as $DEFAULTS$. For example, SET WIDTH 132 makes the
     default right margin 131; SET WIDTH 80 makes the default right margin
     79. This does not affect the right margin of other, existing buffers.
     See help on SET RIGHT MARGIN.

  o  If you reduce the width of the window, the indicators at the left of
     the status line may be clipped because EVE tries to keep the buffer
     name full size. See help on Status Line.

  o  Width is a global setting, but is not saved in a section file or
     command file. To keep your setting for future editing sessions, put the
     SET WIDTH command you want in an initialization file (typically named
     EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

  o  On DECwindows, you can set the width as follows:

        1.  Choose Set Width from the Display menu or the Customize menu.
        2.  A dialog box appears in which you type the width you want.
