 Hello, Maurice.
 
 NB>> I don't seem to have that issue here

 MK> Probably the different versions is the reason. Like I said before this
 MK> version does the word wrapping correctly except it puts a hard return at
 MK> the end of the line where it shouldn't add one at all. I sent a follow up
 MK> one with the subject, "man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow

 MK> $COLUMNS' on the commandline once all the FTN crap has been sent to the

Compiling nano-2.5.3 now. So you may as well inform me of this "fix" you speak
of. :)

 NB>> I may get to like vim after all.

All I have memorized so far is "Xdd", ":q!", and ":x" which at the moment is
all I need for this messaging stuff so far. I'll get around to learning more
shortly though, I'm sure.

Regards,
Nick
