The last editor have a (VERY STUPID) wrap words mode, it seems to work, I used
it to write mails and the text is wrapped correctly. The editor is supposed to
be available (I say supposed because until now I didn't tried to download it,
my connection is a disaster this week).

I don't know because then it can't be used for small parts of a file, for
example: A friend at work want to use it inside comments ... then the thing is
a little more complex.
The other problem is speed, but of course if the user enables such a thing is
your responsability ;-).
If you want to send me this part of code go ahead I can get some idea.
Actually I just cut lines if when you are typing the cursor crosses the wrap
column.
