I try to make a point to change my tabs to spaces before I copy over code, but I notice that code that fits in a standard 80-wide tty-size window still wraps. it seems to wrap at 70 columns, yet width-wise, it only takes the left 2/3rds of the column.

Is it possible to make the width of that be at least a standard 80 chars? Better -- would be a settable width in user options and the option of whether to wrap it on display or provide a horizontal scroll bar...

But the 80 char-wide default window seems like it would be really useful, since that's the lowest normal size terminal width. Is that possible?
