Have heard of Word-Wrap? <smirk>

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.

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.
