[ forwarded message about use of last column ]

It's not hard to change the mini help to also use the last column.
It's a small change to help.c:show_mini_help() and
screen.c:center_line().

But I remember a discussion in Nov 2003 
(Msg-ID: <[email protected]>) about the use of the
last column. The result was that there might be cases where the last
column can't be used. Therefore tin uses cCOLS - 1 to be on the safe
side.

TTBOMK cCOLS contains the number of all columns.
Could we change cCOLS to contain the number of safely useable columns?
On systems where the last column is useable cCOLS would be set to the
number of columns and to number of columns - 1 else.

This change would us allow to use cCOLS in the code without to check
everytime if the last column can be used or not.
