Hi Andrus,

I'd use something like the following (and, yes, it'll work in 2.6).

* m.file is the name of the text file being displayed.
DIMENSION a_settings(25)
MODFILE FILE (m.file) NOEDIT NOWAIT
m.whandle = _Wontop()
* Get the editor settings
= _EdGetEnv(m.whandle, @a_settings)
* Turn off word wrap
a_settings(16) = -1
* Set word wrap off
= _EdSetEnv(m.whandle, @a_settings)
* Maximize the window so that the new
* setting take effect.
= _WZoon(m.whandle, 2)

The above should do the trick. Be sure, however, that foxtools is loaded.

hth,
