In my June calendar from Apollo they discuss (in the Command of the Month) word wrap in an edit pad. In there words "To turn on word wrap, have an edit pad open. Then hit the Shell/Cmd button to get the DM command window. Type ww -nn where '-nn' is the column number at which you want to wrap. You can also have previously entered lines wrapped by marking the reqion, then giving the command ww -a To find out the column number being used for wrapping, give the command ww -i." I've tried this and the only thing that works for me is ww -i (which reports ww at column 0)! What gives? Paul Calamai Dept. of Systems Design Engineering U. of Waterloo Waterloo, Ont.

You need to say ww -c nn to specify the column to wrap at.
ww -on sets the wrap column to the width of the window.
ww -off switches it off.
ww toggles it.

Try using "ww -c nn". I found this out after hacking... ---- Dave Hayes dave@vlsi-mentor.jpl.nasa.gov dave%vlsi-mentor@jpl-mil.jpl.nasa.gov "The word 'choice' is a fraud when one is taught what to choose."

If someone has it could they please post it or e-mail it to me. The DM editor is the best programming editor I've ever used, and I continue to appreciate it more after working more with HP-UX where 'vi' is the standard built-in text editor. The word-wrap feature extends the DM editor for simple word processing. Also, if you haven't already found the regioning tools, look at 'help echo' and related commands for the '-r' option and try it out. Long live the DM editor! Here's my version of: /sys/help/ww.hlp ------- 9.7;ww (word_wrap) *DM*, dwv 1989/03/17 WW (WORD_WRAP) -- Word-wrapping and paragraph fill for the DM editor. usage: ww [ -on | -off | -i | -c n | -a ] FORMAT ww [ -on | -off | -i | -c n | -a ] The WW command provides word-wrapping and paragraph fill features for the Apollo display manager editor. WW is a display manager command that acts on the active edit window. This feature was added at SR9.7 but not documented by Apollo. This help was prepared by Doug Vander Wilt from information in the "ADUS Ring," a publication of the Apollo DOMAIN User's Society. OPTIONS If no options are specified, WW toggles word-wrap on or off. The indicator "W" appears in the window legend when word-wrap is on. The default word-wrap column is just to the left of the right edge of the window. -on Turn word-wrap on -off Turn word-wrap off -i Information (show wrap column) -c n Set word-wrap column to "n" (will turn word-wrap on if it is off) -a Adjust (re-wrap) selected region RELATED TOPICS More information is available.

The DM editor is quite impressive though UNIX reality requires that we have working knowledge of the 'wombat do' editor until a better standard turns up. I have noticed however some difficulty in dealing with control-chars and also would add the following to your word-wrap man page. KNOWN BUGS: Inserted chars will sometime overwrite the window edge when word-wrap is enabled. e.g. Open a new edit pad Insert a single char . Hit the <- left arrow key. Hit <CMD> and type ww -c 10<RET> Hold <REPT> and some other key. Disclaimer: Opinions herein aren't even mine.
