 up a lot of new problems, you seem to be using DISPLAY_COLS to mean
 what LYcols does now, and changing the meaning of LYcols).

Nope,

what *you* did changed the meaning of LYcols, which is the screen
width.

Screen width should be used for drawing the decorative frame around
the document, formed by the title line, the status line, the prompts,
and the scrollbar.  DISPLAY_COLS is the width of the pad into which we
draw the text of the document - used only in the bug-avoidance
safeguards.  WRAP_COLS is used to fit the document.  Probably the
fourth one is needed as well - for centering, as my DIV example shows.
