SET WIDTH

 Sets the width of the EVE screen layout.  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.

 Example:

    The following command sets the width to 132-column mode.  This lets you
    view very long lines, such as if you have set the right margin greater
    than 80, without having to shift the window horizontally.

       SET WIDTH 132

 o  The default width is your terminal setting, usually 80 columns.  If
    your terminal is set to more than 80, EVE uses 132-column mode.

 o  To find out the current width, use the SHOW command.  Also, the length
    of the status line indicates the width.

 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 created 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.
