EPM is so damned flexible it can kill you in a number of ways.  The
version that came with Warp 3 was limited to 256 character lines and
wrapped.  The 6.03 versions allow you to set the right margin up to
1599 characters - and I've seen lines in config.sys push that, although
a bit of pruning was in order anyway.

The worst trick it can pull is when you hit the 'reformat paragraph'
key - boy, does that mess up config.sys!  Still, it's my editor of
choice for programming.
