Joe is so good in all other regards, it's hard to get annoyed :-) Agreed! I'm always angry at myself that I forgot to change the default settings so that word wrap is OFF for unknown filetypes or files with no extension. Very annoying. IMHO, word wrap should be always off, except for .txt or .text. or other stuff that is clearly just text. Regards Dirk |
