I have no problem that people ask MySQL questions in this group... a lot
of us run LAMP servers after all.

Not to mention the original question had *almost* nothing to do with
MySQL.

The MySQL client will produce output as wide as the terminal you're
running it in. Set the xterm window for 120 characters (for instance) and
the MySQL client will produce 120 character wide output.
