Not necessarily. The terminal stores a hidden bit at every end of line, rememebering whether it was crossed by wrapping a long text. I'm not sure what's the exact rule that controls it but if you echo a long string that wraps and cut-and-paste it you will get the long text back without newlines. -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who can only read email on weekends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
