  I must admit I've never understood why there is such thing as a
no-auto-wrap option.  I've never had to use it.  But some people must,
because I am constantly changing the setup on this damn terminal back
to auto-wrap!!!  So there must be some machines on our campus that
does it's own auto-wrap before sending the information on to the
terminal...
