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></blockquote> I agree with Gregory here: I may want to capture either the
wrappedor 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
defaultbehavior for the terminal.<br /> And there's no way I'd want wrapping as the default for pipe output.<br /><br
