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.

 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.

 Examples:

    Command              Purpose or Effect
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    SET WIDTH 132        Sets the width to 132 columns, which uses a
                         smaller video font.

    SET WIDTH 80         Sets the width to 80 columns---typically, the
                         default setting---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 SHOW.

 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
    SET WIDTH in your an initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE).
