An "Illegal function call" error message is generated when trying to
change the screen width to 40 columns using WIDTH 40 on a monochrome
screen.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickBASIC versions
4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50 for MS-DOS; in Microsoft BASIC Compiler versions
6.00, 6.00b (buglist6.00, buglist6.00b) for MS-DOS and MS OS/2; and in
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00
and 7.10 (buglist7.00, buglist7.10) for MS-DOS and MS OS/2. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
This problem does not occur in programs compiled with QuickBASIC
versions 2.00, 2.01, and 3.00.
