Vladimir, One way to accomplish this is to set the COLUMNS environment variable to a large number. You might also try calling the terminal-width procedure with the number of columns you want. The terminal-width procedure is in the (system repl debug) module. Note that there is a different terminal width in each thread of your program, so maybe setting the COLUMNS environment variable would be easier. But I haven't tried these methods, so I don't know what will happen, exactly. Good luck, Mike Gran
