Does anyone know how to turn off the "auto line wrap" feature in pico? The
configuration only allows set the wrap margin at a max of "80" characters.

Thanks in advance.

A quick check of the man page for Pico reveals the command line option...

	-w   Disable word wrap (thus allow editing of long lines).

That is true, and that is also the correct flag. 

However I have found that some files which have very very long lines are
still wrapped nonetheless.
