[comp.unix.aix] aixterm - how to turn off auto-wraparound

teexand@ioe.lon.ac.uk (Andrew Dawson) (12/18/90)

Does anyone know how to turn off the auto-wraparound feature when aixterm
starts up? I know I can use <CTRL>-middlebutton and uncheck it, but I can't
find a way of doing this either by a command line option or by an entry in
.Xdefaults. aixterm -keywords didn't seem to give a sensible option, nor did
the info explorer aixterm entry. I tried putting aixterm*autowrap: false in
.Xdefaults as a guess, but it didn't seem to do anything.

There seems to be a reverse wrap option, but that's a different thing
altogether.

The reason I ask is that editing wide files in vi is next to impossible if
the lines wrap round.

Any pointers....?
