 Hello.
  
 I was wondering, if there is / was / going to be a DOS utility, / 
 function / programme that could Edit ASCII text files..
  
 E.G. - I've got multiple text files, which have several lines of text,
 on the one line I.E. if you go into DOS, with the EDIT command,
  
 you just see 3 or 4 lines of text, when it really is 3 or 4 paragraphs
 of text - & the rest of it, is shown off the edge of the screen -
 after the 70 / 75 / 80 character border..
  
 I'm looking for ONE utility, that I can do :-
  
 Utility.EXE *.TXT 75

 where it will scan each *.TXT file, & if its got a line going past the 75
 ascii character marck, it will go to the beginning of the word that is
 on the border line, & move it to the next line...

 Does this make sense ?
