For some reason I was under the impression that if I changed the Editor
setting in 8.2.6 it would override all others but after checking the
behavior it is the same.  Once the document is created it seems the only way
to change the soft wrap setting is through "Text Options" as you mentioned.

"Text options" is a document by document setting which is inconvienent when
all I want is to globally change my environment.  For instance at work I use
a 30" display from my Powerbook. But when I visit clients, travel, in bed,
etc. I use the screen on my 15" Powerbook.  I use Window width on the road
and 100 chars. when at work. Obviously, changing back and forth is a problem
if I have to change each document I am working with.

Having so many settings in so many places also doesn't make much sense IMO.
I work with multiple documents and usually I have at least one window with
multiple documents in the the Documents drawer.  I don't <expect> one
document in the document drawer to have one soft wrap setting different from
the others.  But maybe that is just my style.  It seems to me that soft wrap
is more a Window setting than a document much less a document type setting.
