   Hmmmm, just spotted something which I've never noticed before:   
      
   As you can see, I have "Line break in column 80" enabled but it doesn't     
   seem to work on my display. I have the number of columns set to 100 in my     
   OpenXP config but lines don't wrap at column 80, they wrap at the window     
   edge(column 100).   
      
   Can you reproduce this?   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
