?chr$(21) disables the 80 column firmware.
?chr$(17) goes to 40 column enhanced video, in which all the 80 col. extra 
          control codes still work (esp. the very useful reverse scrolling)
          this is the same as esc-4 from the applesoft prompt.
?chr$(18) goes back to 80 cols after ?chr$(17) or esc-4
