Thank you, Darren and Nick, for your kind comments. Yes, a 'scale'
command could be of great help, i.e. when controlling the output of 
non-trivial formats in a program. 

Currently, I include a 'call scale' statement in a program when 
controlling the output of formats. However, this is not comfortable
anymore when a mis-formated line is 15 or 25 lines below the 'scale'.
Btw, I'd hate pencil lines on a notebook screen :) 

I was hoping that something like 'scale' might be possible when wscons 
was introduced (because wscons somehow 'controls' the screen/ terminal
output). Unfortunately (and being a little angry at myself for this),
I'm too unexperienced to do this myself.
