Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Use stty columns 140 in .profile on ksh Post 302885989 by wisecracker on Wednesday 29th of January 2014 10:24:33 AM

i am assuming here that you have tried both methods from the command line.

Have you thought that 140 columns might be too wide for the terminal fonts size in use.

Also that the terminal must sit with ITS top left hand corner as far to the top left hand
of the desktop, (assuming a desktop of course), as possible.

What is the error report of the "printf" version?
