Thanks, Peter.
I'm sure that's right, but it requires knowing: (1) that there's something
called the "width subcommand", and (2) how to format the call to that
command/subcommand.
I was able to do it eventually but only after a few hours of effort
searching the web for help.
E.g. with a table (called table1) with 3 columns and want to set widths to
30, 5, and 5:
colwidths<-c(30, 5, 5)
for(i in 1:3) {
tcl(table1, "width", i - 1, colwidths[i])
}
