You can also turn insert-wrap on in most HP terminals by hitting ctl-insert
instead of just insert. I don't know if it works in wrapping fields across
lines in VPLUS, but it does work in char mode... though even then it only
wraps down 1 line (i.e. the next line gets chopped if both lines are full -
it doesn't wrap a whole screen of lines like you PC/GUI screens do. It also
wraps by *character* not on word boundaries).

  Hope that helps;
