If you're speaking purely about limiting the cursor to the bounds of the current window (which is what I believe you're referring to), yes I believe it does do that much, if I remember correctly.
However, if you're referring to some kind of "smart" word wrap ability, the answer is no. The BIOS performs only basic dynamic text port sizing and does not provide any sort of text wrapping or kerning features. It merely wraps text to the boundaries of the window, just as it would when writing strings to the full screen. Of course a programmer could always make their own... :) Sent with Proton Mail secure email. ------- Original Message ------- On Tuesday, June 14th, 2022 at 6:18 PM, Zbigniew <zbigniew2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Googling around gave no result.
