I've mentioned this before, but I'll do so again.  Most terminals have
the ability to toggle between 80-column and 132-column mode via a menu
option or escape sequence.  I set all my emacs windows to be 132
columns wide for this reason, and wrap my source at 132 columns
instead of 80.  The result is significantly more readable.

xterm and Eterm both support it.  You can do it manually using:
    echo -e "\e[?40;3h"
or (in Eterm) bind it to a menu item.  To toggle back, change the 'h'
to an 'l' (that's a lowercase L).
