Problem with Contorl-M is that it seems to write either
80 column lines or 132 column lines but nothing else.
If I use 160 columns, the start of the individual lines
shift to the right, since 132 chars from the first and
another 28 chars from the next line will be written
on the first terminal line. Chars 29-132 from the second
line will then start at pos. 1 on the second terminal
line, followed by the first xx chars from line 3 and so on.
It may be a configuration question here, I don't know.
Control-M abended when I first tried to work with more
than 27 rows, and I'm happy they corrected this. Didn't
want to any further bother my sysprog ;-)
I'm not sure why anyone wants to use 160 columns. AFAICT, the old 3290
supported this width simply because it was a convenient multiple of 80.
A 51x132 or 62x132 screen is much easier to read than 51x160 or 62x160
and equally effective for on-line reading of dumps, reports, etc.. Of
course, some people prefer 133 columns and I can't argue with their
rationale. But, IMHO 160 is just silly.
