PuTTY Configuration

For PuTTY's 80 column configuration:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Select "Window" on the left
  3. Set to 80 columns
  4. Choose either:
    • "Change the size of the font" or
    • "Forbid resizing completely"

This will prevent PuTTY from resizing your columns without your consent/knowledge.
