Wrap Page

The Wrap Page has got a great influence to the "feeling" of WSedit. If the file type supports word wrapping (see "file" page), you can choose the personal behaviour of wrapping text:

The Cursor left/right checkbox influences the behaviour of cursor movement. If disabled, the behaviour is like in a programmers editor: you can reach every point of the screen by using the cursor. If enabled, the cursor follows the text. Where there is no text, you have to fill the line with spaces to reach a position where no text is written yet (or simply use the mouse). The behaviour does remember to the ^OX Wordstar command, but it's not the same. Anyway, you can toggle this behaviour by typing ^OX.

The horizontal scrollbar can be shown or omitted. Dependent on formatting on/off shows/omits the horizontal scrollbar, dependent on the local text: between .BE and .BD dot commands (enable/disable formatting), the scrollbar is shown, otherwise not. Permanently off omits the horizontal scrollbar permanently, Permanently on always shows it. But if the file type is Wordstar formatted, it is shown anyway.
