36 Setup

Columns: [80, 132, 80-Only]

Choose the number of columns that the screen can display. 80-Only provides more
pages in memory for a given page length by disallowing changes to 132-column
display.

Width Change Clear: [On, Off]

Select whether the screen is to be cleared when the number of columns on the screen is
changed from 80 to 132 or vice versa.

Changing columns from/to 80-only forces the screen to clear independent of Width
Change Clear.

Selecting “fast” improves the speed at which screen display occurs at the expense of
minor, temporary distortion of text called “tearing.”

up when smooth scroll is selected. Smooth 1 is the slowest rate and Smooth 8 is the
fastest.
