The DM editor is the best programming editor I've ever used, and I continue
to appreciate it more after working more with HP-UX where 'vi' is the
standard built-in text editor.  The word-wrap feature extends the DM editor
for simple word processing.  Also, if you haven't already found the
regioning tools, look at 'help echo' and related commands for the '-r'
option and try it out.  Long live the DM editor!

Here's my version of: /sys/help/ww.hlp
-------
9.7;ww (word_wrap) *DM*, dwv 1989/03/17
WW (WORD_WRAP) -- Word-wrapping and paragraph fill for the DM editor.
usage:  ww [ -on | -off | -i | -c n | -a ]


FORMAT

  ww [ -on | -off | -i | -c n | -a ]

  The WW command provides word-wrapping and paragraph fill features for the
  Apollo display manager editor.  WW is a display manager command that acts
  on the active edit window.

  This feature was added at SR9.7 but not documented by Apollo.   This help
  was prepared by Doug Vander Wilt from information in the "ADUS Ring," a  
  publication of the Apollo DOMAIN User's Society.


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, WW toggles word-wrap on or off.  The indicator
  "W" appears in the window legend when word-wrap is on.  The default word-wrap
  column is just to the left of the right edge of the window.

  -on      Turn word-wrap on

  -off     Turn word-wrap off

  -i       Information (show wrap column)

  -c n     Set word-wrap column to "n" (will turn word-wrap on if it is off)

  -a       Adjust (re-wrap) selected region
