Well on my machine 132 cols is the same as 80 cols: 7x13.  But for me that
is a good thing since I spend most of my time in 132 cols I want the
biggest font that still fits on my screen.  For me that is 7x13.  7x13 is
also the same font (or very nearly the same font) I use for all my X
applications: xterm, emacs, etc.  I like the uniformity.

But this doesn't have any method for using different fonts for different
column sizes.  So .tn5250rc is probably a better place, it is just not the
only place.

All this makes me think I ought to finish up the HOWTO and get it in
DocBook format.
