- Invoke pico with the -w command line option. The lines that are too long
- for your display will have a $ at the end. You can see the end of the
- line by moving the cursor past the right margin or by hitting ^e on the
- line your cursor is on. Go back to the beginning of the line with ^a.
- It's kind of unwieldy, as it just moves the display for that one line.
