As far as I recall you use the mouse to change the value. Units are selected
inch or mm. Could be from 2.x I don't remember.

Sorry, but that doesn't seem to work in 1.1 (DOS version). I can, before
starting a trace, open the 'width' menu from the pulldown menu. I then get
the question 'track or via', I select track, and I get prompted to enter
something. But what ?? Orcad itself gives no hint, I have tried all keys
on the keybord (!), and ok, anfter certain keys, including the arrow keys
the width changes randomly. I can't determine any system in these changes.

I have found one way to change the width, but it is not very comfortable,
I exit the program, type pcb /c to enter the config menu, change the
default width, save the setting and enter the program again. After that
procedure, I am almost lost. Where was I ? Absent-minded ? Yes !
