Why is the '80' column limitation moot in free form? Do I not have my
editor set up properly? Is there a compile option that will allow me to
code out past column 80 in free form?
Thanks

unless I've really missed something. With the ability to use long
descriptive variable and procedure names I've been feeling cramped while
coding recently. Has anybody requested this? I haven't really heard it
discussed at all.
Using free form, the '80' column limitation is kind of moot.
Personally, I don't like code to go off the side of editor screen (green
or gui).
