I have a question that most likely has been discussed before
but I have not found in the archives.

I have never used VPLUS personally and our shop is not a
sofisticated programming shop. One of our programmers
had to create a multi-line field (users want  to keep an
advertising product blurp with the product). Data entry
is no problem as the cursor jumps to the next line as
required. However when they change their minds on
what they want to type and press insert, the text does
not wrap to the next line but runs of the end. I suspect
that the next request will be to do the same with the
delete key.

We use Reflection v 6.0 emulating an HP70092 terminal.
I notice that there is an escape sequence (ESC N) listed
in the Reflection manual to turn insert wrap on.

Is it possible to do this in VPLUS or is it a terminal or VPLUS
restriction?

Thanks
