It said forty and filled exactly half of an eighty column screen. CosmOS asks for the wide mode when it starts, because its own help text is seventy-four characters across. So a program that assumes the shape the MACHINE wakes up in is wrong about the shape the SYSTEM is running in - and the Programming Manual says as much where it describes the columns and rows registers: how big the screen is, is asked for rather than assumed. Port 0x32 says. One instruction, and the program now fills whatever it is given.
