  To make xrn automatically wrap long lines in your articles after you
write them, but before they are sent, add this to your .Xresources:

	xrn*breakLength: 80
	xrn*lineLength: 72

(If you use betaxrn instead of xrn, then replace "xrn" with "betaxrn"
above.)

  To make the text widget wrap text as you type it, like (I believe)
xedit does, add this to your .Xresources:

	xrn*Composition.pane.text.wrap:		never
	xrn*Composition.pane.text.autoFill:	true
	xrn*Composition.geometry:		661+0+0

The first two lines make autoFill work, the third line makes the
window 80 characters wide so that your text will look like 80-column
text to people at other sites.

  Hope this helps.
