nitros9 level2 does not have 51 that I know of.  its either 35 vdg 
screen, 40 or 80.  I may be wrong though.   Do you only have the one 
window open?  if so, put this in your startup file to create a 40 col, 
and an 80 col shell window.  Use the "CLEAR" key to move through the 
three windows.

for 40 col shell, either by hand, or in your startup script to have it 
come up with every boot.

wcreate /w8 -s= 2 0 0 40 24 5 2 2
iniz /w8
shell i=/w8&

for an 80 col use the following

wcreate /w6 -s=2 0 0 80 24 0 2 2
iniz /w6
shell i=/w6&

This is all in the os9 documentation, along with explanations of what 
the values are.
