Wide text (was: RE: [ICOM] Opinions wanted ...More)

[Mike - RR]

It is a setting I the program.  My text automatically resizes to fit my
window, whether it is 20 char wide of 120 char wide.  This works - except
for people who hit the CR at every line.  I wish people wouldn't do that.

Personal preference I guess.
