Perhaps you can try ESC 4 to get back to 40 columns, instead of ESC
Control-Q.  Not all 80 column cards work the same.  At my old high school,
there were at least three different things you had to try to get some
things to work, since not all of the IIe's had the same card, and not all
of them were the same model (from Rev. A unenhanced to Platinum IIe's).
There are discrepancies between cards... even Apple's.
