SET WRAP
(Default.) Enables automatic word wrap, so that as you type at the end of
a line, EVE starts a new line when the cursor goes past the right margin,
without your having to press RETURN.
Usage notes:
o For example, if you set the right margin to 70, then as the text you
type pushes the cursor past column 70, EVE starts a new line at the
current left margin---in effect, doing a RETURN for you.
o SET WRAP does not reformat or rewrap existing text.
o Word wrap is a buffer attribute. Thus, you can use SET NOWRAP for
editing a buffer that contains a wide table or progressively indented
program statements, but use SET WRAP in other buffers.
o Commands and keys that insert text, such as as INSERT HERE or PASTE,
RESTORE, RESTORE LINE, and so on, do not automatically rewrap text.
Depending on where and how much text is inserted, your text may go past
the right margin or even out of view. To rewrap existing text, use
FILL.
o To find out if word wrap is enabled, use SHOW.
