weird -- the last line above was extra long
In tbird they are lined up... 2 columns,,but the 3rd line from the top
is 96-97 chars wide -- i.e. on an 80-wide terminal, it would all be 1 
column.

Before... when I turned it off, I had one screen where it printed in 1 
column
for completion, so I don't know what causes it to switch into the mode where
it thinks my term is 90+ columns wide...
