Sorry, too early in the morn... MONITOR, not SHOW, CLUSTER. 

OK.   I just checked the sources for MONITOR and this is fixed.   Here's
a comment from CLUFAO:

; The cluster screen in divided up into quadrants by a horizontal and verticle
; line. The quadrants are all equal in size (10 rows x 39 columns). The upper
; left quadrant displays the top 6 nodes CPU_BUSY statistic. The Upper right
; quadrant displays the top 6 MEMORY_UTILIZATION statistic. The lower left
; quadrant displays the top 6 disks total I/O rate statistic. And the lower
; left quadrant is up for grabs at this point.

Following this comment, there's a table which contains cursor positioning
values.   All would maintain output that is strictly 80 column.   If you're
looking for a 132 column variant, it looks like you'll have to write this
yourself.   It should be pretty simple to do.
