To (6 max width): I went for a walk and fell down a hole. a common method works as follows. first you split your string into chunks where newlines might appear. e.g. after every space. then you keep track of a "line buffer", you keep adding chunks to the line buffer until it's too wide, then you remove one chunk and output the buffer as a line. rinse and repeat. I'll get to work on some example code.

Thanks Doxin. I going with the Phobos one, though. I've added your code to my large amount to of small programs.
