Why be tied to 60-year-plus 80-column old punch cards??? That every RPG Developer I know has NEVER used punch cards!
Sorry, I don't know any fossil-type that wrote RPG code on Punch Cards. That was WAY BEFORE my time! Thank goodness!
Speak of which, does the LPEX editor have a way to turn on Word-Wrap like other editors?
Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Word, NotePad++, just to name a few that has word-wrap. Do we have that in RDi? I can't find it.
For XML documents, I use the horizontal scroll bar. Which is okay, I guess.
I would love a ZOOM in/out on the LPEX Text size. But, I know there is already a PFE out there for that. Maybe in next decade, we might get that. <grin>

Vern, I'm all for the idea of more than 80, but if I ever had to read code statements longer than about 120, I'd require a wrap-around panoramic monitor (the single 21" flat screen just wouldn't cut it). Let's keep it within a comfortable field of view, please. Just because we can doesn't mean we should.
