   In a batch file, I want to get the width of the screen (e.g., 80, in the   
   normal case) into a variable.  This is, e.g.,  the number displayed in the   
   "Properties" of the Command Prompt window - as the "screen width".   
      
   I know how to get this is in a regular programming language (e.g., C or   
   C++), using a Win32 API call, but I don't know of any easy way to get it   
   purely in batch (CMD.EXE).   
      
   Also, not interested in any solutions that involve things like PowerShell   
   or VBA.  As I said, if it requires going to a regular programming language,   
   I already know how to do that.   
      
   Any ideas?
