R help - Apr 2008 - Width of text displayed in R

All,

I think this is pretty basic but I couldn't find the answer in any
source.

I have just built my own R for Linux (amd 64).  It runs well, but R
thinks that it only has 80 characters or so of screen width.  I log on
with Putty to the box and can stretch it as large as I want.  

Is there a simple way to tell R to use more screen width when
displaying?

From whatami:

OS RELEASE         : Linux SLES9 CSG 3.0.1
KERNEL ID          : 2.6.5-7.283-smp

Thanks,

Josh

Yes, there is. E.g.:

options(width=110)
