Line Wrapping

If text on your display is scrolling off the edge of the screen,
you will need to find a means to wrap it. The preferred method is
to use a special client designed for connecting to Virtual Community
Servers. We suggest using Tinyfugue, or another similar client. More
information on available clients can be found by typing:

@help clients

Up to now in the tutorial, all lines have been pre-wrapped by the server.
To determine if your text is wrapping or not, look at the following
line which counts from one to fifty.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

If line wrapping is working for you, you should be able to see all
numbers (although they will take two or more lines). If you only
see one line, and it ends before 50, line wrapping is not working
for you. If you cannot get a client to do line wrapping for you,
you can set your content type as text/wrapped. This method is not
suggested, as it is slower and you may have problems with some
formatting. You can set your content type with the following command:

@set content-type=text/wrapped

All further topics will assume your client can word-wrap properly,
or that you are using text/wrapped.
