WIDTH                    Set Output Width

 WIDTH [{#filenum | device},] width

    Sets the maximum width for a specified output device; Turbo Basic
    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.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      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).

                In medium-resolution graphics, a WIDTH size statement
                clears the screen, sets the border color to black, and
                switches to high-resolution graphics. If the display is
                already in high-resolution graphics and a WIDTH size
                statement is issued, the screen is cleared, the border is
                set to black, and the mode is set to medium resolution.

                A WIDTH device,size statement can be issued before device
                has been OPENed. If device is already open, this statement
                has no immediate effect until the device is CLOSEd first
                and OPENed again.

                In the WIDTH #filenum,size statement, the number sign (#)
                must be included, and filenum must refer to an already
                open file or device. The width of the specified device is
                changed immediately.

                Note that each printer defaults to a WIDTH of 80.

                Specifying a WIDTH of 255 disables the automatic
                generation of a carriage-return.
