That can be done too! Probably the easiest way is to use Windows and
define a 6 pts font :-)
 
If you want to print 132 columns on the screen of your own PC, its
easy too: install the ansi.sys variant that came with your videocard
and run VMODE (or comparable) program prior to starting your
PowerBasic application to select a videomode that supports 132
columns.
 
One other way would be, going into a graphic mode and define your own
characters. Not to be recommended I'm affraid.
 
Else: look at VESA specifications and take it from there.
