     And how easily can you change that (if at all)??? What, you mean you'll
never want to change it??? What if you wanted to view a file that someone had
entered on a > 80 column terminal, and you'd like to see each line on ONE
physical line, instead of multiple physical lines???

     Thanx, but I'll keep my X, bloated as it may be....
