mine has a "set-autowrap(on/off/toggle)" function according to the man page at least. Never used it though, so I can't say what it does :) > What about having an argument that controls if xboard/winboard does any > rejoining?

My xterm has a $COLUMNS and $LINES variable and after a "eval $(resize)" they have the correct value... so I guess xboard could monitor these. Another option that might be better is to use "stty size" which prints columns and lines. On http://www.ohse.de/uwe/software/resize.c.html they use ioctl to get the information. See get_term_size on that page. > It would be nice to have the width variable > altered accordingly whenever the user changes the xterm size.

I'd be happy to implement both of these, but > I'm not sure how I can get notified when the xterm changes size. yep that would be cool... Another thing that would make xterm a lot better is if xboard would use gnu-readline. I tried it out once (http://nubati.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=xboard-old.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gnu-readline-support) seemed to work ok, but the login prompt for FICS, etc wasn't correctly handled.
