	Not well enough yet. Any overlength line results in a '$' in the
rightmost column. Moving the cursor into the line, when you move near
the right margin, it scrolls that single line to the left allowing you
to edit. I am preparing to allow you to select, via an environment
variable, the ability of scrolling the entire current window when this
occurs.
