Interesting how the original question got asked in the reverse manner,
after only two posts.  Actually, Chip, everyone's on your side.
Wrapping is not only evil, but some times it is a necessity.

When I'm reading mail on a 132x?? terminal, if wrapping was not used, I
have to chase around lines that span more than 100 columns, and it can
get tiring if you do it all the time.

Ciao,
Giorgos.
