Please respond to this by mail, as the USENET > ARPANET gateway for
this list has been down for weeks, and I cannot see anything posted
to the USENET newsgroup.
     
I'm one of the user-assistance people at this activity, and just ran
into an odd situation that I can't figure out from reading the manual.
One of our users insists that he had an arrangement whereby he had
the "wrapmargin" feature of "vi" turned on so that it did the line
break at column 80. This now has vanished when some Oracle-specific
stuff in his .profile file was removed.

Hi Will,
     I did some experiments and it looks as if you change the co# command in
the termcap file from co#80 to co#81 and then say set wm=1, it wraps on 80.
The person answering this question may have had his own termcap that had this
defined some other place.  I did this on my sysV machine and it seemed to fix
it.  This is the only thing that I can think of.
				   Hope that helps,
				   Mike
