fmt command-and-other things?

Well, good to see this list coming alive--and-I guess Tim's on a roll.
I converted a pdf and since there are mostly only 38 characters accross an average line, I understand fmt for format will alter this? However, in reading the man-page, seems to be written in a style of a mathamatical equation. Can some1 please explain an exact sequence to convert a file
june-issue.txt
to at least 127 columns. Can I do this without renaming, or is that a must? When I was successful--and-used the same name, it says, "already exsists" Here on shellworld, a freebsd system, somewhat different fmt from the version I have on my hard-drive in debian squeeze. Now, somewhat unrelated, on my hard-drive, I would like to greatly expand number of lines-and-columns from my current 48lines by 127columns. Some1 from our LUG says there's something unusual about my Intel hardware, as he has somewhere around 73lines. Is their something I can try on the fly, without rebooting, to see if we can increase?
Thanks in advance on both these subjects
Hart
