[I first posted this to a msdos group, and got one {semi} response. On
reflection, I realize the experts may all be over here.]
The line wrap option {in the terminal mode setup menu} seems to turning
itself ON at random intervals. Note that this is occurring in the
middle of sessions. The only thing I can think of is incoming data is
somehow causing the switch.
Has anyone else seen this happening? Is there a vt100 command that
{dis,en}ables line wrap. {If there is, I suppose that somehow termcap
may be sending me such a message.}
Any ideas, folks?
