When I do ESC-q, it rearranges text to fill up a width of about 80

How do I change the width of a text page just for that session?  Or
change the default?

Set fill-column (C-h v):

,----[ C-h k M-q ]
| M-q runs the command fill-paragraph
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `fill.el'.
| It is bound to M-q.
| (fill-paragraph arg)
|
| Fill paragraph at or after point.  Prefix arg means justify as well.
| If `sentence-end-double-space' is non-nil, then period followed by one
| space does not end a sentence, so don't break a line there.
| the variable `fill-column' controls the width for filling.
|
| If `fill-paragraph-function' is non-nil, we call it (passing our
| argument to it), and if it returns non-nil, we simply return its value.
|
| If `fill-paragraph-function' is nil, return the `fill-prefix' used for filling.
