  SET(WIDTH)

  Sets the width of a window.  If a window is wider than the screen and if
  the window contains text off the right edge of the screen, DECTPU displays
  a diamond symbol in the rightmost column on the screen as a signal that
  there is undisplayed text.

  Syntax

     SET (WIDTH, {window | ALL | SCREEN}, integer)

  Parameters

     window     The window for which you want to set or change the width.

     ALL        A keyword indicating that DECTPU should set the screen and
                all windows, visible and invisible, to the specified width.

     SCREEN     A keyword indicating that DECTPU should set the screen to
                the specified width without altering the size of any DECTPU
                windows.  Note, however, that by default EVE resizes the
                windows to match the width of the screen.  Note, too, that
                you cannot set the screen to be narrower than the widest
                DECTPU window.

     integer    The width of the window in columns.  You can specify any
                integer between 1 and 255.  Values of 80 and 132 cause the
                terminal to switch between 80-column and 132-column modes.
                By default, the width of a window is the same as the
                physical width of the terminal when the window is created.

  Examples

     SET (WIDTH, main_window, 132);

  Sets the width of the main window to 132 columns.

     SET (WIDTH, ALL, 40);

  Sets the width of the screen and all windows, visible and invisible, to 40
  columns.
