   Hard to say what you mean by "very old version" but doesn't control-T (while   
   in post mode) bring up something like this?   
      
   T Overtype OFF            I Autoindent OFF          Word wrap OFF   
   D Tab width 8             Left margin 1             Right margin 77   
   X Rectangle mode OFF        Case insensitivity OFF    Search wraps OFF   
     Menu explorer ON          Autoswap mode OFF         Indent char 32   
     Indent step 2             french spacing OFF      Highlighting ON   
     no tabs OFF             Center on scroll OFF        Auto detect CR-LF ON   
     Guess indent ON         Z CR-LF (MS-DOS) OFF      N Line numbers OFF   
   Marking OFF                 Meta chars as-is OFF    Force last NL OFF   
     Disable backups OFF     Auto unmark OFF             Exit ask OFF   
      
   The word wrap is 3rd column, first row. Never did figure out how to default   
   it to ON.
