My EDI translator has the option of "wrapping" segments, which is much like
the UNIX "fold" command, where all lines are concatenated then chopped into 80
or 256-position records. I use MS Word when I need to eyeball the records,
replacing paragraph mark with null, then replacing segment delimiter with
segment delimiter plus paragraph mark.
