Maybe I should read the pico docs, and see if > there is an option to turn off word wrap. FYI the -w flag turns off word wrap for pico HOWEVER it doesn't mean that REALLY long line (256 chars, IIRC) won't be wrapped anyway (a major hassle esp if you want to edit your .newsrc or some such which may have very long lines). For 'root' I have actually aliased pico to 'pico -w' because it is easier to wrap test using ^j than it is to have it wrap when you don't want it to! For my normal UID I didn't bother as any mistakes there won't be as critical! TjL, waiting for FedEx to arrive so he can try a FreeBSD install!
