I'm not sure why the word-wrap effect is not happening for you in RichEdit
controls. To stop richedit controls doing word wrap, the control must be
created with either WS_HSCROLL or WS_SCROLLBARS flag. Below is how the
v0.55.1 version is defined.

 classStyle[RichEdit]=or_all({WS_CHILD,
 WS_VISIBLE,
 WS_VSCROLL,
 ES_DISABLENOSCROLL,
 ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
 WS_TABSTOP,
 ES_SAVESEL,
 ES_MULTILINE,
 WS_BORDER})

Does your version have the same code in it? Does your application change
these settings by calling the classDefaults() routine?

I haven't found any way to flip a RichEdit from word wrap to non-word wrap
after it has been created.
