Hi Cyndi

http://www.dbg400.net/pngdocs7.html shows one I've made available. The 
word wrap is retrospective - you flag the start & end lines to be 
wrapped.

Adding text is done by spliting the line at the insert point, adding the 
new text, then wrapping it back up. The editor & document system is 
included in the DBG/400 test environment tools -

RUNRMTCMD or STRPCCMD can both achieve that. I run text editors via PDM 
options using RUNRMTCMD, and it's quite easy to do.
