Hi pbsys,
vi uses the terminal settings to determine how many rows and columns to show you. You will have to set this prior to starting vi. There are more then 1 factor involved in this process. First you have to set the columns on Unix. You can do this by running:
stty columns 132
from the command line. That will take care of the Unix side. The part I can't tell you specifics about is your telnet/xterm/other software. You will need to resize the display for this program so it can show you the 132 columns across. If it is not wide enough, it may word wrap or give you a scroll bar or something. Most modern telnet/xterm/other software will allow you to use the mouse to change the size of the screen. With most xterm software, you simply use the mouse to size the window before opening vi and it displays however many characters fit in that window on one line before wrapping. With the telnet that comes standard with NT, you can change the properities to display 132 columns.
Hope this helps.
