Motif Text widgets will word-wrap if XmNwordWrap is set to True. The
default is false.
NetProb is already doing XmNwordWrap. Read the entire chain, Calvin.
But XmNwordWrap doesn't insert newlines in the text where it wraps --
it just wraps the text in the display widget. The Xaw Text widget's
autoFill resource will cause newlines to be inserted when the user
reached the end of the line while typing (and M-q will reformat a
paragraph and insert newlines).
