hi Peter, what changes necessitated turning autowrap off? are you doing this so that TeraTerm no longer needs to be instructed (by mmbasic) to set the terminal width to columns+1? i had always wondered about setting the width to columns+1, in particular with respect to terminal emulators that may require the width to be divisible by 8 or 4.
GFXterm handles the situation rather crudely, by simply implementing 'deferred newline'. i believe a real (hardware) VT100/102/220 does the same, though i don't have one to test with :-(
cheers, rob :-) Edited 2026-05-04 22:24 by robert.rozee
