Disgusting kernel hack

	What about lines longer than the terminal width.

	"stty line 80" may not work due to control chars.
	unless you want "more" in the kernel with the reading
	of /etc/termcap and all you will always end up with
	either a partial solution or will be able to handle
	only one type of terminal.

And what about whether a terminal wraps or not? I'll stick with the traditional
Unix definition of a line - a sequence of characters terminated by a \n.
Much more elegant. (And much better than systems like VMS or TOPS-10 with their
commands like SET TERM/VT100 !!!)
