I am trying to put
in .profile to set column width to 140 so I don't have to manully do it every time.
My main goal is to avoid seeing "Terminal too wide" message whenever I try to use vi editor in full screen.
I am on korn shell
So even after I added
in .profile and did relogin, I still get message "Terminal too wide" message whenever I try to use vi editor in full screen.
I there any other way to do this so I don't have to see above message?
I added
in local.cshrc (as it's name was bit similar to .kshrc ) but even this didn't work and I still have to run
manually in order to use vi editor in full screen mode.
Thanks for your inputs wisecracker.
But I tried
directly from my home directory and have also tried some varions like
but it didn't work.
So I am not sure if adding it to .profile will work either.
works when tried directly from home directory but doesn't work when added in .profile
I have tried only
and
from command line. Is there any other method of doing this?
And "printf" version doesn't show any error but seems like it doesn't work either as I still can't do vi on full screen without doing
manually.
