StrongED TaskWindow mode can set the display width but this does not 
effect the "Two-up" formatting.

!Edit also produces a two-up listing for *ex and does not appear to 
have any Opt settings which can change this.
So it would appear that the two-up listing is determined by a setting 
in OS 5.13. and is peculiar to the Iyonix.

Zap lists each file on a separate line on my machine - as does 
invoking *ex from an obey file.

My question then is
(1)how can I get !Edit or StrongED to list the files sensibly in a 
TaskWindow?
(2) Is the two-up listing peculiar to my machine?
