Robert:

I think I understand what you are saying, and that WIDTH80 
is only for a real DECB system and not a MESS session. 
 Well I started up the Projector 3 project and once I got 
the green screen, jsut for S&G's, I entered WIDTH80 and 
the screen changed to 80 collums.  Seems to run fine.

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant.  Thanks for you 
help.

Jim
