I guess I'll have to re-read the original message but I thought I stated
that I was writing a program and needed 132 columns to support the bigger
maximum comment limit in 4dos.  Guess I worded it wrong. :)
um I still need to find out how to get 132 columns on the screen, but
width goes to 80 when dealing with the screen, and there are no screen
modes out there that support it.  I can do it at dos, but not in the
Qbasic environment.  In all actuality, I have bypassed this problem
by fixing my program to edit each individual comments in a 
windows-like line editor.  It works good, but it would be REAL nice if I
can get a library to support 132 column mode in whatever lines possible!:)
By looking into these discussions about powerbasic, I am IMPRESSED!

can you easily port over your qbasic 4.5 programs into it?  I captured
that big list and will read it later, so maybe my question's already
been answered. :}

Anyways, thanx again.
