   (SET) SCALE OFF (better if in one's profile)

   the scale is generally annoying, but can be useful if one is editing
   a very wide file and wants to limit visibility and/or editing to
   columns n-m (SET VERIFY n m) ... what other editors off the possibility
   to limit editing to columns or sets of lines with or without a given
   pattern or to select and remove entire columns ?

   Yes, it is in my list of favourite easily user-customizable s/w (like
   THE, fvwm, alpine ...)
