On which computer?  Assuming you mean a IIe, IIc or IIgs, you can turn
80-column mode on and off as follows:

10 D$=CHR$(4)
20 PRINT D$;"PR#3": REM 80-column mode ON
30 REM whatever
40 PRINT CHR$(21);: REM 80-column mode OFF
50 END

On the IIgs (and possibly the IIc - I haven't tried recently), you can
also use PR#0.
