The 40 & 80-column text modes use 'extended' memory so as not to impinge upon the memory that is available for BASIC programs.  More than just a single 'POKE' would be required to configure the hardware for this to happen.  However, I *think* that you could probably POKE &HE7, 2 and then press the RESET button and BASIC would take care of it for you.  I'm not sure on this since I don't have my CoCo in front of me right now.  It is this flag that keeps BASIC from reverting back to its standard 32-column display when you hit reset.> > Dave> > > On 11/5/2016 12:58 PM, Stephen Pereira wrote:>> 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.
