"stty line 80" may not work due to control chars. unless you want "more" in the kernel with the reading of /etc/termcap and all you will always end up with either a partial solution or will be able to handle only one type of terminal. beattie@mitre And what about whether a terminal wraps or not? I'll stick with the traditional Unix definition of a line - a sequence of characters terminated by a \n. Much more elegant. (And much better than systems like VMS or TOPS-10 with their commands like SET TERM/VT100 !!!) John Owens
