Once you get in 80-column mode via "PR#n" or ?chr$(4);"PR#n":

Immediate  Deferred   Result
---------  ---------  ------
esc-4      ?chr$(17)  40-column mode (slot n firmware)
esc-8      ?chr$(18)  80-column mode (slot n firmware)
esc-ctl-Q  ?chr$(21)  40-column mode (exit firmware)

There's more in the 80-column reference manual, but I don't one online.
