TVI912Cs (and ProTERM's emulation) makes it so that if a line goes over 80 characters, it does what the non-existant God intended... It scrolls to the next line and keeps printing the line from there.. And when you move up around it in vi, vi jumps right to where you mean to go.. (i.e. jumps by each line-ended- with-eol, and not by each physical line on the screen) --
