Well you seem to be on the same problem that I was. I can't work with
the way that pico, nano, joe, jove, wraps the line, therefor only
thing on console for me is ae.

Doesn't it work to make a separate ae.rc for X use the way I describe here?:

X11 editor Nedit can do this kind of word wrap in X11 but it might be
bigger. In mulinux we add on called TCL with Tcl/Tk. (An interpreter
that can run some scripting languish ) On this there are some small
graphic editors and as I remember some of them do the "virtual word
wrap). But they need Tcl/tk to be installed on the sys.
As it is scripts I think they will work If you install Tcl/tk from SW4
and then download the mulinux addon

and unpack it. (i think it is a tar, bz2 archive). And what are they
called. I think one is just edit or xedit one is August and that is a
html editor.
