SYMPTOMS
The MS-DOS Editor and QBasic programs do not allow character wrapping on the screen or printouts.

When you choose the Print command from the File menu in MS-DOS Editor or QBasic, if there are more than 80 characters on a single line, those characters do not wrap to the next line. Instead, after the 80th character, the letters are either truncated or continue to print beyond the right edge of the page.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a program such as Microsoft Windows Write or another word processor that provides text formatting and printing for ASCII text files.
