      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 a58b9206       REPLY: 1:267/157 d5b38e4f       TZUTC: -0500        AD> Question about the new A47 GV command.. Actually this is more about the        AD> dispfile command in MPL, is that too governed by the /cols 80 /end        AD> switches?? I have a file which is showing up in a larger column display        AD> and it is a 80 column file.. Anyone have any ideas??              The display file command in MPL is not related to the ANSI gallery/viewer       commands. It just sends a file as is for the most part, so its more closely       related to the "GD" menu command.              I am not sure I totally understand the problem here, but often times an ANSI       editor will save a file that uses the 80th column without moving to the next       line, meaning that it relies on the terminal automatically wrapping after the       80th character for the file to display right.              When you are displaying an 80 column file in a larger terminal size you just       have to make sure it is saved correctly so that it properly moves to the next       line after the 80th column. The easiest way to accomplish this is to actually       use files that only use 79 columns, but its possible to use the 80th and still       have it display properly in both 80 and larger column spaces.              Hopefully that didn't confuse you even more :)              ...
