That's your problem.  You should use the OS/2 version.

If that is Win-OS/2 you could still use the OS/2 version and just switch to
the other task.

I never have any need for Windows except for PaintBrush.  If you are spending
much time in Windows, then you need more native OS/2 apps.

I use InspectA, but ONLY for viewing/deleting Fidonet mail bundles.

Interesting.  I just left View to wrap and use Edit when I don't want it to
wrap.

One feature I would like to see in FC/2 Edit is the ability to force hard CR
for wrap similar to EZQuote.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
