This was from a discussion in the non-tech list...

OV/400

Most interesting to me is how IBM did word wrap.

It's my understanding that this was code impliemented in the workstation
controller.  I never saw any 5250 data stream commands to access this, so I
assume there was some other undocumented interface.

Does anyone know more about this ?
