It is true that MS EDIT.COM will not word wrap with any version of DOS.

A very nice compact text editor that word-wraps, marginates, and even
justifies text is TE.EXE. No drop-down menus. It uses function keys
and other keyboard commands. Press F1 for help on keyboard commands.
Very easy to learn.

TEXT EDITOR 2.5
Text Editor (TE) 2.5 is a public domain, full screen ASCII text editor for the
IBM PC and close compatibles which uses commands similar to those used in
WordStar and Sidekick. Primary uses for TE are to create/edit batch files,
generate forms, edit files captured by telecommunications programs, write
E-mail and simulate a "smart" typewriter.
Features include: 1) Program size of 29,904 bytes. 2) Edit file size as large
as available memory. 3) Display commands on pop-up help screen, prompt for
subcommands. 4) Insert, delete, split, join a line. 5) Copy, delete, move,
read, write, shift, hide, display a marked block. 6) Print a file/block to
LPT1-LPT3. 7) Enter any ASCII code. 8) Find/replace a phrase. 9) Temporary
return to DOS. 10) Set left/right margins and page length. 11) Word wrap.
12) Format (justify) a paragraph.
