Creating a column based list from a string list

I have a string containing fields separated by space

Example

Code:
set sr="Fred Ted Joe Peter Paul Jean Chris Tim Tex"

and want to display it in a column format, for example to a maximum
of a window of 100 characters

And hopefully display some thing like

Code:
Fred       Ted       Joe       Peter      Paul      Jean
Chris      Tim       Tex
