Yes, I know about fold and sed. I started messing with both of those while
still using nano, but after the second quote level I'd had enough. I don't
know sed well enough to be able to figure it out easily. One command took me
hours to figure out and get to work right.
At that point, in desparation, I tried out vim. Once I noticed that 'gq' will
not only wrap a long line, but will also automatically insert the quote
character at the beginning of every line that was wrapped, I figured this may
be an easier approach for me. :)
