- I don't have the man page, but here are the notes I kept
- when I learned about it:
-
- WW is an undocumented DM command:
- -ON Turn on word wrap and set column at current right margin
- -OFF Turn off word wrap
- -C nn Turn on word wrap and set column at specified value
- -A Wrap selected region
- -I Report current column setting

- The DM editor is quite impressive though UNIX reality requires
- that we have working knowledge of the 'wombat do' editor until
- a better standard turns up.
-
- I have noticed however some difficulty in dealing with control-chars
- and also would add the following to your word-wrap man page.
-
- KNOWN BUGS:
-
- Inserted chars will sometime overwrite the window edge when word-wrap is
- enabled.
-
- e.g. Open a new edit pad
- Insert a single char .
- Hit the <- left arrow key.
- Hit <CMD> and type ww -c 10<RET>
- Hold <REPT> and some other key.
