Swapping 132 to 80 columns

Thanks for all the suggestions but however when I use "Set term/width=132"
the screen is put into 80 column mode as soon as the vms session is started.

The object of this project is to have the normal 80 column menu/suite
running and then switch to 132 columns for specific programs. When one of
these programs calls vms to copy a file and set logicals the screen jumps
into 80 columns for a split second. Doesn't cause any particular problems
but makes the screen look naff. (Technical Term)


Does anyone know what powerhouse actually does when a run command is issused
?

		Hello Phers

		I've got a screen that's running in 132 column mode which
calls VMS via run
		command. However when the VMS commands are ran the screen
switches back to
		80 columns.

		Is there anyway of stopping this ?


		Using VMS 7.1 & PH 710G2


		Thanks in advance
