    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 :)
