Hi Bruce,

I know that some GUI components have the concept of text wrapping but not
sure which ones do that. I quick look in unicon/uni/gui revealed that
TextDisplay should do what you want. It has a wrap attribute and the
comment around for   method set_wrap_mode(s) reads as follows


   #
   # Set the word-wrap mode, which should be one of the following
   # values :-
   #
   # &null, "false", "off", "no", meaning don't do word-wrap (the default).
   #
   # an integer (eg 20), meaning wrap at that line length.
   #
   # "width", meaning wrap at the width of the component.
   #


Hope this helps,
Jafar
