LOL, I learned that lesson recently while trying to
connect my Apple //c to
a 31-inch television. It works for BASIC, but not in AppleWorks, where the
manual 40/80 column switch doesn't help. Guess it's time for me to acquire
an Apple monitor.
The 40/80 column switch on the //c does not activate anything. It's just
a switch that can be read by software, and it's up to the software to
decide what to do with the setting.
As far as I know, it's like the human appendix. No software I ever came
across referenced that switch for anything. The //c+ later replaced that
switch with an audio volume slider.
