Since pr(1) is seldom used on any device except the line printer, I've
made a couple of minor changes to make its multi-column output more
convenient to use.  First, I've changed the default page width to 132.
Second, I've enlarged its page buffer so it can handle 132-column pages.

pr(1)'s internal buffer for multicolumn output has been enlarged; I'm
going to try some experiments with multicolumn output on the HP, and
it can put more characters on a page than the line printer can.
