Since you're writing on the 6.5++ email list, I'm assuming you are using 6.5++ for windows.
 
6.5++ supports the SET FONT command with 3 options for displaying data at the R> prompt
 
SET FONT SYSTEM
SET FONT OEM
SET FONT ANSI
 
Other than that, you can also SET WIDTH xx to a wider number than the default of 79.  In 6.5++ I find that I can set this as wide as 120 without data wrapping around.  And don't forget that you can SELECT individual columns and set the width for each: with text and note columns, data with wrap onto extra lines if needed:
 
SELECT col1=10,col2=15,col3=12, etc.  FROM table

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Control of Screen fonts in R:base 6.5++

Is there anyway to change the screen font size in the command file? I know I can change it via the Preferences but I would like to change the font size when display a select statement.  I use the following statement �SELECT &vcol FROM &vtable SORTED BY &vsort &vwhere1� which can display anywhere from 2 to 20 columns in a listing.  By setting the font size to 6 or 7 instead of the normal font size, I could increase the width to bring in all of the data.
