An olc consultant referred me to this e-mail address for this
question. I recently was informed that my XRN posting should be
limited to 80 characters per line, because the lines are running off
of the screen. How do I do this with XRN?
From the man page for xrn (type "add sipb; man xrn"):
-breakLength len
Break lines longer than `len' characters into mul-
tiple lines. Default is 0 characters. If set to
0, line breaking is disabled (see also
'lineLength').
Therefore, you can either run xrn with the arguments "-breakLength
80", or you can add this to your .Xresources file:
xrn*breakLength: 80
Make sure to either log out and log back in again or kill xrn and run
"xrdb ~/.Xresources" after making this change before posting any more
articles.
