One of the folks who responded to this seemed to be unaware of
such goodies as wordwrap, autohyphenation, and format-to-screen
using macro packages and pipes (and aliases)
that are available on unix. Sigh. This is the problem with unix
as wordprocessor, I'm afraid: there's too much that too many users
don't know. The worst problem boils down to the fact that you need
to have someone available who knows how to work the magic before
you can be a magician.
