There may be a reason, or it may be that it's just the way it happened. Yes, now we have the GPL version other people may feel inclined to take a look at it. nd.dgi > IMHO, fixing this problem should go > on the back burner for now because it is just a minor nuisance > for those who are aware of the problem and know how to deal > with it.

I realise that this is intentional but.... : QEDIT (to use one example) overcomes this problem by wrapping the line when the cursor goes beyond the preset right margin -- note that is the CURSOR going past that point, so it is possible to create lines longer than the RH margin without turning off the wrapping function. And when an insertion is made to the middle of a line that pushes the end past the margin, QEDIT allows a reformatting of the whole paragraph by a single keystroke. Another annoying thing about Arachne's internal editor is the business of rewriting the text window every little while, which makes the screen look most peculiar until it settles down. IMO this editor needs a lot of work. from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia "Queen City of the South" 34:55S 138:36E http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/greg_mayman/default.htm -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
