Haha, talk about circular reasoning :)

Anyway, I use BBEdit for programming, and I see your posts are hard 
wrapped. But as far as I know you can't set BBEdit to hardwrap edit from 
the command line, and I don't want to hardwrap it as a general rule. How do 
you manage this?

Using pico/nano, I just use this:

	set editor_command "pico +8,1 -r 75"

To make it hardwrap to 75 columns.

Right, still curious about the wrapping...
