SET WRAP    (default)

  Enables automatic word wrap, so that as you start typing a new word at the
  end of a line past the right margin, EVE starts a new line without your
  having to press RETURN.

  EVE also automatically wraps an existing word to a new line if you add a
  character to the end of that word that pushes the cursor past the right
  margin.

  Usage notes:

  o  Examples with the right margin set to 70:

        1.  As you start a new word at the end of a line that is past column
            70, EVE starts a new line at the current left margin---in
            effect, doing a RETURN for you. You start a "new word" by first
            typing one or more white space characters (spaces and tabs), and
            then typing a non-white space character.

        2.  If you add a character at the end of an existing word so that
            the cursor goes past column 70, EVE wraps the existing word to a
            new line at the current left margin. (An exception to this rule
            is if the word starts at the left margin, with no white space to
            the left of word. In this case, EVE does not wrap the text.)

  o  EVE does not wrap text when you type at the start of a line or in the
     middle of a line.

  o  SET WRAP does not reformat or rewrap existing text. To reformat your
     text---typically, after you erase, remove, or paste text or after
     changing the margins or paragraph indent---use FILL commands.

  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, and 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 you insert, your text may go past the
     right margin or even out of view. To rewrap existing text, use FILL
     commands.

  o  To find out if word wrap is enabled, use the SHOW command.

  o  On DECwindows, you can toggle the setting as follows:

        1.  Choose Buffer Attributes from the Customize menu.
        2.  Click M1 on Set Wrap in the dialog box.
