[To which julian@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu (Julian Cowley) replied (in article <2544@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu>) with a suggestion that the (send-string-to-terminal STR) function be used to switch the terminal between the two modes, and giving an example Emacs lisp function to accomplish this.] The only problem with this is that the padding delays for some terminals are different for 132 column mode than for 80 column mode. You may have to use a termcap entry that assumes 132-column mode, and switch to 80 columns once you are in emacs. Keith Moore UT Computer Science Dept.
