VAXTPU SET(WIDTH) — VMS 5.2

 SET(WIDTH)

 Sets the width of a window.  If text exceeds the width of the window,
 VAXTPU displays a diamond symbol in the rightmost column as a signal that
 there is undisplayed text.

 Syntax

    SET (WIDTH, window, integer)

 Parameters

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

    integer    Specifies the width of the window.  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.

 Example

    SET (WIDTH, main_window, 132);

 Sets the width of the main window to 132 columns.
