hi Alex,

I have not followed the ascii viewer thing, but what is wrong with the old 'modi file' command ?
&& on a form, or a defined window
modi file (FileName) noedit in (thisform.Name)
The wordwrap can be set off : Edit | properties >> WordWrap
Or you may have to play with the resource file, or maybe something else
