[Coco] POKE for WIDTH 80 ?

[Bill Pierce]

Stephen, there are actually several pokes used to set up an 80 column screen (or any other for that matter). First you need to set up where in memory you want the video address, then set the mode & resolution.
The Coco3 tech ref manual will give the addresses and info. I don't have them handy at the moment.
I don't understand why Color4th needs 80 col? I thought it was written before the Coco 3 (I could be wrong).

Subject: [Coco] POKE for WIDTH 80 ?

I’ve been pouring through the “500 PEEKS, POKES and EXECS,” but I’ve not been able to find if there is a POKE that works the same as the WIDTH 80 command.  Does anyone know if there is such a POKE?  If so, what is it, please, and also the opposite POKE to get back to “normal” WIDTH 32.Thanks in advance!smp--Stephen M.
