Hi all, I'm trying to disable the horizontal line scrolling feature in ksh,
enabled through `set -o vi' or `set -o emacs'. ksh(1) says this about it:

    In these editing modes, if a line is longer than the screen width (see
    the COLUMNS parameter), a `>', `+', or `<' character is displayed in
    the last column indicating that there are more characters after, before
    and after, or before the current position, respectively.  The line is
    scrolled horizontally as necessary.

Is it possible to completely disable this feature at the moment? Setting
COLUMNS to a large number "disables" it for the most part but brings in
other weird behaviours like massive gaps between lines when pressing
ctrl-u and random newlines showing up when scrolling through history.
