In the SAPscript editor, I inadvertently clicked something that changed the number of columns to 35 (half the page is showing). Do you know how to fix this?

As you probably have figured out by now, you resized the text editing column inadvertently with a mouse click-drag. Whenever this happens, simply click on the right side of that column and drag it back to full size. This can also happen with the two-character paragraph tag column, making it disappear completely. If this happens, it is much more difficult to find the click-drag spot to make it reappear. Fortunately, if you completely leave the transaction and come back in, the columns should reset themselves correctly.
I suspect this problem is a side effect of the improved SAP GUI which allows dynamic resizing of columns. The SAPscript line editor was built before then, at a time when it wouldn't have been possible. As you will notice, this problem does not occur when using the newer graphical PC editor.
