Sorry, I found the problem with this one.  I wondered why it just
appeared right after I loaded SCREENPEACE !

I should know better than to trust PD software (except procomm).
I killed saver.exe and everything works fine.  While you are saving the
whales, save  my time also (please no flames, I think the whales do
need protection).

The file manager line wrap feature still exists.

This is a known bug in Screen Peace before version 1.2.
It was fixed in version 1.2 of the software.
It was available on Compuserve for awhile, but was removed 
recently (not for bugs though, the author assured me of this).
The problem has do to with the dll calling a standard library routine
which seemed to REALLY screw up the system (obviously).
