Or we add an
alias nano=`nano -m`
to etc/profile... but that might not
be the preferred method to deal with this. The whole wrapping issue
makes me think of nano as a Windows-style application which imposes it's
own formatting instead of keeping the file the way it is... I'll use
vi(m) until after the RULE installation abd then install Emacs.
