Autowrap Mode

Selecting this check box causes characters to wrap to the next line automatically when the cursor reaches the right margin of the display. This setting is different from the VAX host's terminal wrap characteristic, which is set with this DCL command:

SET TERMINAL/[NO]WRAP

The host command determines whether characters wrap automatically when they reach the maximum terminal width set by the host's SET TERMINAL/WIDTH command. Host Integrator's Autowrap option, in contrast, determines whether characters wrap when they reach the right margin of the display. When Host Integrator is communicating with the host:

If terminal wrap is set on the host, characters wrap when they reach the maximum terminal width, regardless of the setting of the Autowrap check box.
If terminal wrap is not set and the Autowrap check box is selected, characters wrap at the right margin of the display.
If terminal wrap is not set and the Autowrap check box is cleared, characters never wrap when they reach the right margin of the display. New characters overwrite the character at the right margin until a carriage return is entered.

When Host Integrator is not communicating with the host (that is, the Online check box is not selected), the Autowrap check box works as described in the last two items above, as if the host's terminal wrap characteristic is not set.
