You can shut off autowrap using the -w flag, e.g.:

  pico -w filename

On the subject of a "Winsock Notepad" there might be something cool
you can do with WinPine and WinPico to edit files that reside on
a remote server.  You can do it with email messages that are being
accessed with IMAP so it seems like you should be able to do it
with any ascii file (not necessarily an email message).  Maybe we
need to wait for ACAP to do this type of thing.  Does anyone know
any tricks for doing it now?
