I have a standard text edit pane (using TCL, actually). My problem is that this pane does NOT scroll, so the text in its entirety must be contained within it. How can I stop the text from flowing past the end of the pane? I tried one method, where I checked the length of the current line against the width of the pane. That almost works. It fails if the last character, or the first one past the end, is a space, because the TextEdit manager will break the line there. I tried writing my own word break routine, but I needed to use nLines, which was a moving target apparently, and I never got it right. Any ideas (especially solutions :-) would be appreciated. (Well, "don't do that" isn't really appreciated, though it might be the hard truth of the matter. 1/2 :-) -- John Lacey 614 436 3773 73730,2250 john@basho.uucp or basho!john@cis.ohio-state.edu
