(NOTE: I don't have a high enough score here to create a jed tag on this question, even though it would be ideal to have that tag here.)

I'm using the s-lang-based jed editor, and I want it to automatically wrap lines at the wrap column whenever jed is displaying a buffer.

In /etc/jed.rc, I have this ...

HORIZONTAL_PAN = -1;
WRAP = 79;

However, wrapping only occurs when I am entering text. I want all the buffers with lines longer than 79 characters to wrap the lines on the screen without physically breaking up the long lines.

In other words, if I have a long line in a file which looks like this ...

col 1                                    col 79
|                                        |
v                                        v
beginning [... stuff ...] data things whatever more stuff

I want it to look like this on the screen in jed, assuming that column 79 occurs at the "t" in the word "whatever" ...

col 1                                    col 79
|                                        |
v                                        v
beginning [... stuff ...] data things what
ever more stuff

But when I save the file, I still want the line to be saved in the file as one long line, as follows:

col 1                                    col 79
|                                        |
v                                        v
beginning [... stuff ...] data things whatever more stuff

Is this even possible in jed? If so, does anyone know how to configure jed to behave in this manner? Perhaps via some special s-lang code ... ???
