   Hej Grant!   
      
   ----- example.text   
      The above example indicates that the backup.sh script should be executed   
   every day, with a delay of 15 mins. i.e When the laptop was started, executed   
   it only after 15 minutes.   
      
   For the above line (paragraph) this will work;   
      
   $ sed 's/^ *//' example.text | fold -sw 61 | sed 's/^/   /'   
      The above example indicates that the backup.sh script should   
      be executed every day, with a delay of 15 mins. i.e When the   
      laptop was started, executed it only after 15 minutes.   
      
   Note that the width is 61 characters before tacking on the indentation of   
   three spaces.  Also note that the width is characters ***NOT*** bytes.    
      
   $ trans -b -no-ansi -t ukrainian -i example.text | fold -sw 61 | sed 's/^/   /'   
      Наведений вище приклад вказує на те, що   
   сценарій резервного   
      копіювання.Sh повинен виконуватись щодня,   
   із затримкою 15   
      хвилин. тобто, коли ноутбук був за   
   ущений, виконував його   
      лише через 15 хвилин.   
      
   If the application you are using to read this is utf8 capable you will note   
   that the translation is still counting 16 bit characters (Cyrillic) as one.    
   To get fold to wrap bytes then add the -b switch to fold since the default is   
   characters.  For strictly 7 and 8 bit characters, -b and -c are the same.
