     Does slrn do *word*-wrapping or just 'character'-wrapping, i.e.   
   'folding' the line at the end of the window?   
      
     My newsreader is tin and its pager (at least the one in this very old   
   version) does not wrap long lines. But my 'terminal' (actually a   
   (Windows) 'Command Prompt' window) does 'character'-wrapping at the edge   
   of the window. I would like if the tin pager could do word-wrapping.
