I'm running PCPLUSTD right now (Telix is in fact history now, as far as I'm concerned -- seems I missed a release of PCPLUSTD that fixed its botchery under WIndows... but I still need to work out a better termcap before I am willing to commit to registering it) and it doesn't hammer lines against the 80th column. Oh -- just got PCSTD to work (must've managed to get a contiguous piece of memory for a change) -- it's called "Line wrap", selection E on the TERMINAL GENERAL menu. I dunno about 2.4.3, but I assume it is available and working. (I'll know later tonight.) ++Brandon (still searching for a good VT100 with chat mode under Windows) -- Brandon S.

[Flame on, as they say.]
I KNOW PROCOMM HAS A WORDWRAP OPTION IN THE SETUP MENU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've repeatedly referred to it, in the process of saying that its
functionality (for me) has gotten worse. In the last go-round I directly
referred to the menu, just to tip people like Greg Cook off that I already
know the menu is there. And I know its contents. I don't find setup menus
to be such an obscure concept that I need repeated parrotings of the obvious.
When I say a function is broken, you can flame me for being too stupid
to use it correctly. But when you turn right around and tell me that it
exists, I must assume that you're too stupid to notice that I already KNOW
the thing exists. If I didn't know it was there, I wouldn't think it was
functioning incorrectly.
I'm glad v2.4.3 works for you, and that PCPlus works for somebody else.
Version 2.4.2 works for me -- it has a LINE WRAP option, number 8 on the
TERMINAL SETUP menu which I access by pressing ALT-S, then a 2 and a CR,
then an 8, then another CR to toggle the value of the LINE WRAP option.
Isn't that neat? And the documentation says to do exactly that, too! And
on top of everything else, it functions *correctly*, too!!
