Hey, I resemble that remark... ;-) FWIW, I just tested this on Notepad in WinXP, and it's the same as Notepad has been since Win95, I think - if you have word wrap turned on, and you hold a character key down, the character is typed all the way across to the right side of the text window and then the line of characters wraps down and keeps appearing on the next line, and so on as long as the key is held down. If word wrap is unchecked in the pull-down menu, the characters keep going to the right as long as the key is held down, with a scrollbar appearing and changing as the line of characters gets longer. In Wordpad (a slightly fuller-featured text editor in Windows), you get the same result if you select the "wrap to window" option.
