Maybe you write a post-text-item-trigger and insert every 79 chars a return (chr(10)). You have to check if the user already entered a return. Use teh substr procedure to get the chars from a string.
Otherwise you can attach another editor to forms. Under WinNT / 95 there is a registry entrie
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\FORMS50_EDITOR or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\FORMS45_EDITOR Just enter the program with its full path you want to be started when the user starts the Editor.
