Subj: Easy way to switch a terminal to wide screen ?
Hi everyone

I posted this two weeks ago, but it never made it through, so i just ask
again ...

Is there an easy way to switch the terminal to 132-character wide screen
and back (equivalent to SET SCREEN/WIDTH=nnn) from a program ?

I looked at $QIO with IO$_SENSEMODE and IO$_SETMODE modifiers, but i am just
too lazy to program all this. There must be an easier way, i just can't find it
in the shelf full of orange binders.

As usual: Respond to me, i'll summarize to the net. Thanx a lot in advance.
