Width; Window - AMSTRAD cpc 6128 User Instruction

WIDTH
W I D T H
<integer expression>
WIDTH 40
COMMAND: Tells BASIC how many characters per line are to be printed when a
printer is connected. BASIC will then send the extra carriage return/line feed at the
appropriate time.
The computer assumes a default value of 1 32 unless a W I D T H command is specified.
The command W I D T H 2 5 5 suppresses the extra carriage return/line feed
altogether, allowing printing to be 'line wrapped' by the printer. Note that carriage
returnlline feed will still be generated by a PR I N T command that isn't terminated
by a semicolon or comma.

COMMAND: Specifies the dimensions ofa text stream (W I N DOW) on the screen. The
values of the parameters <left>, <right>,<top>, and <bottom> should correspond with the
inclusive screen character locations consistent with the screen MOD E in use:
If the <stream expression> is not specified, BASIC defaults to stream #
0.
