SET WIDTH

 Sets the width of the screen for the editing session.  This is useful for
 viewing or editing very long lines.

 SET WIDTH does not determine how many characters you can put on a line,
 but only how many characters are visible.

 Example:

    SET WIDTH 132

 Sets the width to 132-column mode.  EVE then displays up to 132 characters
 on a line.

 o  The default width is your terminal setting, usually 80 columns.  To
    find out the current width, use SHOW.  Also, the length of the status
    line indicates the width.

 o  Width applies to all 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 created during the session 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.  Setting the width does not affect the right margin of other,
    existing buffers.  For more information, see help on DEFAULTS.
