VT220w (wide) terminals will wrap at 80 characters if?
VT220w (wide) terminals will wrap at 80 characters if?
If you are setting your terminal type to a vt220w to take advantage
of 132 columns but you are seeing it wrap at 80 here are a couple of
ways to debug the issue:
1) Make sure that your $TERM is properly set to = vt220w
2) Verify that the vt220w entry in your protermcap file is
properly setup.
ie. :ti=\E[?3h: :te=\E[?3l: :co#132: :tc=vt220:
This is only an example of what the vt220w entry currently is. You
should verify your entry against the most current protermcap file.
3) Another option is to verify your terminals setup against the
customers setup options on their true vt terminals.
*** This next option may be the cause of why your terminal is
wrapping at 80 characters.
4) Have the user do a stty -a on their terminal to report the
current terminal options they have selected. The specific
option that they are concerned about is the column setting.
To allow for the wide terminal, the column option should
be set=0. This will allow for variable terminal sizes.
ie 80 character or 132 characters across. If columns=80
this may cause your display to wrap at 80 characters rather
than displaying 132 across.
