Set describe does not work in command window

[Pzz]

In the command-window (9.0.6.1665) I try

SQL> SET DESCRIBE DEPTH 2;

resulting in "Cannot SET DESCRIBE"

It seems to work fine with SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 (no error)

Other SET functionality seems to work fine (I don't use it often, I just found this one in the manual for describing objects)

The SET DESCRIBE command is indeed not supported by the Command Window. See chapter 8.3 in the User's Guide for a complete list of supported commands.

Ok, something for the wishlist...

Thanks.
