- My original message, above, was intended for comp.sys.mac.programmer. Not
- sure how it landed in the .hardware group.

- Anyway, James Walker, the author of the Word Wrap Patcher, sent me a message
- to report that the problem described above has been already fixed. The
- installer was renamed as "Text Editor Patches" and that may be why I lost
- track of newer versions. Sumex has version 1.2.3, which fixes the problem
- seen under System 7.1. The 1.2.4 version is available by anonymous ftp from
- bigbird.csd.scarolina.edu in pub/mac, and at other sites, according to
- Walker. The latest version fixes a problem with $$ pairing.
