[R] Column width in R terminal ?

[ce]

Thanks it works but I resize my terminals often. So I put in .Rprofile the line:

options(width=system("echo $COLUMNS",intern =TRUE))
 
but I get error :
Error in options(width = system("echo $COLUMNS", intern = TRUE)) :
  invalid 'width' parameter, allowed 10...10000

command works fine in  R but not in .Rprofile ?
