It's more of a missing feature. When I cut text from a wide window, and paste it into a narrow window, I *don't* want the text reformated. likewise, when textedit/cmdtool does a word wrap, I *don't* always want new lines added. Doing this would break shell scripts in particular. It's like Emacs - sometimes it's in text mode, other times it's not. In text mode I want word wrap to add new lines. In other modes I do not. Perhaps this should be an option you can enable with an escape sequence: alias TextOn '/usr/5bin/echo "\033[>8h\c"' alias TextOff '/usr/5bin/echo "\033[>8l\c"' You can disable paging and scrolling with similar commands. -- Bruce G.
