My memory buffer - at the present time - is only 80 bytes wide.  Anything 
more than that, and I'd have a data over-run (or overlay, hmm..) 
condition.

Re: How comments treated by DIRMAINT







All facetiousness aside, there?s a remarkable amount of ergonomics and 
human factors stuff that went into the 3278 that is still valid. Having 
that sucker be 2.5-3 ft high just to put the screen at eye level was a 
Good Thing. Having a keyboard that gave you really good tactile feedback 
was a Good Thing (perfected, IMHO, in the 3279). Having fonts that clearly 
distinguished between O and 0 and S and 8 was a Good Thing (as was the 
sizing of same). 
 
All in all, maybe the 80-col 3270 *isn?t* such a bad thing.
