I have a files that I opened.
I set the CHR width to 149, but when I save it return to 64.

How can I save it the way it looks on screen?

You probably have a binary file that displays as 64 characters (default), and you then changed the display record size with {Config,File handling,File type} to 149.

I assume you want to convert your file from a binary file with fixed length records to a text file with a Carriage-Return and Line-Feed at the end of each record.

To do this, first open the file and set the record length in either the File-open dialog box or with {CONFIG, File handling, File type} to "149". Then press to highlight the entire file. Then select {BLOCK, Convert newlines CR+LF, Convert macro} and select option "7" to perform the conversion. Finally save the converted file.
