?options
--------------
width:
controls the maximum number of columns on a line used in printing  
vectors, matrices and arrays, and when filling by cat.
Columns are normally the same as characters except in CJK languages.
You may want to change this if you re-size the window that R is  
running in. Valid values are 10...10000 with default normally 80. (The  
limits on valid values are in file ‘Print.h’ and can be changed by re- 
compiling R.) Some R consoles automatically change the value when they  
are resized.
