Ok so this works fine apart from a niggling thing that I can't seem to cure:
When I use the command it sends the cursor to the beginning of the
document. I tried to make some functions to set marks, but it doesn't work as
expected:
function! Set80()
mark z
set columns=80
g`z
endfunction
function! Set128()
mark z
set columns=128
g`z
endfunction
The cursor still goes to the start of the doc. I also noticed that while
using these (I have F2 and F3 bound to them) on some files it stays put,
but in a txt file I'm testing on it moves back. I also made sure that the
mark would be within the column limits of the txt file when resizing.
What am I doing wrong?

Real programmers don't write in BASIC. Actually, no programmers write
