Do you mean "vim chops the line in 2 at the last whitespace char, once you've typed more than N chars on the line"? If so, ":se tw=0" ? In general, you set tw (textwidth) to something like 72 for editing normal text files, and 0 for things with insanely long lines. BTDT, which is why my .vimrc on one machine had se tw=0 in it. -- Programmers are playwrights, computers are lousy actors, Users are vicious drama critics, Bastard Operators From Hell burn down theatres!
