WIDTH Set Output Width
WIDTH [{#filenum | device},] width[,lines] or WIDTH LPRINT width
Sets the maximum width for a specified output device; QuickBASIC sends
a carriage return to the device when the specified width has been
reached.
width A numeric expression in the range 0 to 255. A value of 0
is equivalent to a value of 1.
device A string expression. Legal values are "SCRN:", "LPT1:",
"LPT2:", "LPT3:", "COM1:", "COM2:", and their lowercase
equivalents.
filenum A numeric expression in the range 1 to 15; specifies a
file opened for output.
lines A numeric expression; must be either 25 or 43. This
argument is valid only if device is "SCRN" or if the
{#filenum | device} argument is omitted. lines allows you
to specify 43-line screen mode on systems equipped with an
EGA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: WIDTH size and WIDTH "SCRN:" size both set the screen
width. In this case, size must be either 40 or 80 (only 80
is allowed on the IBM Monochrome Display).
WIDTH LPRINT width sets the width of all subsequent LPRINT
output.
