Re: WRDWRAP and Blank Lines

[Stuart Rowe <rowestu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Did you check the data in the file or wherever you stored it?  WRDWRAP
formats the data on OUTPUT, not on INPUT.  It may be stored correctly and
displayed oddly.  Or stop the program in debug after reading the screen and
see what value the variable holds.
Or, stop using WRDWRAP.  WRDWRAP does the formatting -- if you want no
formatting, don't use it.
