Help

I am sick of NCSA Telnet (the version for packet drivers) truncating
at 80 columns.  How can I get it to wrap the end of the line onto the
next line?

I know that this is probably some option I overlooked and I am going to
feel dumb when I get an answer, but at this point, I don't care.. ;-)

Have the system you are logging into send the escape sequence to
enable auto line wrap (esc[?7h). Assuming you are logging in to a
Unix system, you can do this with a command in your .profile or
.login.

I did experience the same problem but I added on DOS environment variable
and it seems to work fine.  It seems bizarre, but, hey it works.  

Add this to your environment:

set configtel=c:\whereever\config.tel

Inside the config.tel I had set wraparound to be yes.  It was set to yes but
it not seem to work.  Adding the environment variable seemed to switch it on.
