Is there a command that will enable me to continue on to the next line without hitting a return in an apollo dm edit window? I guess I'm thinking of some- thing similiar to auto word wrap at the end of a line in vi. We are running 10.1.1.6 Thanks -- Doug Flesner................... | ...There is pleasure in sin for a season...

DM wordwrap was implemented in SR9.7 at the request of a large cus-
tomer. It still exists, and still works as well as it ever did, at
SR10.3. Documentation was drafted (see below). It only works on fixed-
width fonts; tabs aren't handled correctly. At the time SR9.7 released
it was decided not to document wordwrap, but to give the feature as-is
to the customer who requested it.
There are several other useful, mostly functional, undocumented DM fea-
tures (for instance, automatically line-numbered read and edit pads).
Around the time I left Apollo (May 1990) there was talk in Marketing
of informally documenting them somehow for customers. Don't know if
this ever happened.
Here's the draft manpage on wordwrap:

9.7;ww (word_wrap) *DM*, revision 9.0, 87/08/26
WW (WORD_WRAP) -- perform word wrap operations.
usage: ww [-c nnn] [-a] [-i]
FORMAT
WW [options]
WW is a toggle command that puts a DM edit window in
word-wrap mode. Existing lines wrap when a user types
in them. Word wrap does not affect cut and paste
operations. When word wrap is on, a "W" is visible in
the mode field of the edit window's banner.
WW only works for fixed-width fonts.
ARGUMENTS
ww -c nnn Sets the character column at which word
wrap will occur. The character column is
calculated based on the pixel width of the
current font in the window.
Default column, when word wrap is on, is the
right edge of the window.
ww -a Given a range of text and a word wrap
column which has been previously set, the
-a option instructs the Display Manager to
wrap all lines in the range. Word wrap
does not understand a rectangular range.
ww -i Displays the current word wrap column.

I thought this was documented but I can't find it in the dm/commands help
file. 'ww -c xx' sets the wrap column to xx. 'ww -a' turns on auto-wrap,
and 'ww' turns it off. This works in a marked region as well, so you can
define a key to auto-wrap a marked region of text. Mine is on f3:

Here's the unofficial ww.hlp file floating around here: 10.0; ww (word_wrap) *DM*, revision 1.0, 89/03/22 ww (word_wrap) -- set word warp mode. usage: ww [-on | -off] [ -c xx] [-a] [-i] DESCRIPTION The WW command puts the current pad into (-ON) or out of (-OFF) word warp mode. If no option is supplied, the current mode is inverted. In word wrap mode, the cursor automatically wraps to the next line when the word wrap column is reached. The column is set automatically to two columns short of the right edge of the pad, or can be set manually to any particular column with the -c option. Relalignment of existing text can be accomplished by marking the text, then issuing the ww command with the -a option. The window legend contains a "W" when the window is in word wrap mode. OPTIONS -ON Enter word wrap mode. -OFF Leave word wrap mode. -C {xx} Specify word wrap column. xx = integer -A Align marked text to current word wrap column. -I Display information on current word wrap column.

I believe there is an option for the dm edit pad which allows word wrap. Open an edit pad then set ww -on from the dm command line or wherever. Text will be "wrapped" when the cursor gets to the edge of the pad. -- Tim Schneider Honeywell -- Air Transport Systems Division Phone:(602)869-3078 US Snail: PO Box 21111 MSK26E2 Phoenix, AZ 85036 Internet: @cim-vax.honeywell.com:timsc@hwcae.cfsat.honeywell.com UUCP: ...!uunet!hpfce!apciphx!hwcae!timsc
