asking for guidance on length of line in terminal

[Janina Sajka]

Thanks, Samuel and all!

I hadn't realized it's now this easy to adjust console font and
resolution. The last time I delved into these matters one had to
discover available resolutions and set them during boot. On the fly
adjustment sounds much friendlier! <grin>

I'm personally content with my 64 by 175 consoles, but when I try to do
some task with sighted friends and colleagues, they understandably
complain about the print they can't read. To assist them I think I'll
gen up a few setting adjustments into a script file.
