It sucks to run a program, decide you want to capture that output and find you
get something else. It *really* sucks to find there's just no way to get the
same output short of heroic efforts.</pre>

I agree with Gregory here: I may want to capture either the wrapped or
unwrapped output to a file or a pipe.<br>
Perhaps the enabling flag for this feature should take a parameter,
which is the number of columns to wrap to.<br>
<br>
I was not bold enough to propose that wrapping be the default behavior
for the terminal.<br>
And there's no way I'd want wrapping as the default for pipe output.<br>
