I have seen this happen when executing TPU (or any other editor) using VT-100 emulation under VAX/VMS. TPU interrogates the TERMINAL attributes ($SHO TERM) to determine the WRAP setting. on exit it restores the setting, which causes procomm to change its internal setting. I seem to remember the solution was to put "$Set term /nowrap" in your login.com (or vice versa). the basic point is to have it match whichever PROCOMM value you have selected. by the way "set term /inq" doesnt appear to pick up the WRAP attribute from procomm. this is all from memory and its been a couple of years since I saw this problem.
