Actually that's not the width that matters. The terminal window also has
a width (and depth) and if it's set wider than your screen then you just have to scroll it sideways. In XP and W8.1 and presumably W10 too, if you click the icon at the top left of the window (on the titlebar) then choose Properties -> Layout you can set the size of the buffer lines in which output is stored, and also the maximum width of the terminal window. I typically have screen buffer width 150 columns height 9999 rows window size 150 height 42 rows You can also set colours and other options. Those settings only apply to that window, or - if it was started by a shortcut - to the way the window will open when next started by the same shortcut. There is also a Defaults option on the icon menu, with all the same options, but that saves system defaults so that any command window opened in the future (unless opened with a shortcut which had its own options saved) will get the values you have set. It's overly complicated, I think. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
