While I'm checking to see if the Oberon/F discussion list is still
alive, I have a question... :-)
I'm using Oberon/F 1.21 under Windows 95. Whenever I drag & drop a
plain text file into the Oberon/F application window, it opens the file.
This is good. However, whenever a line of text has more than a page
width of characters, the text wraps to the next line. This is bad. I'd
like to see this text file as it is, and if a line of text is too long,
I'd prefer to simply scroll to the right to see it.
So far, the solutions I've found for this problem are:
1) Go into the Tools/Document Size dialog box, and change the
settings so that the width is "fixed" to a very large number. This
works, but it is cumbersome because I have to do this dozens of times
each day.
2) Make my printer settings default to landscape mode. This works
too, but then all my other applications print out in landscape mode,
which is not usually what I want.
Has anyone found another workaround for this? If there were some way to
change the default behavior of how Oberon/F opens up a new document,
this would seem to be the perfect solution.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

P.S. In spite of the fact that there is virtually no discussion of
Oberon/F going on anymore these days, I *still* think it is a joy to
use!
