Question: What happens if you dont use the -w?
I was doing some editing last night and didnt' use the -w, the only thing i
noticed was that when lines were too long for my screen it truncated them
using a $ sign.
If I use a -w is it going to write the file back out onto the server using
word wrap.
I only ask because I have done this on a windows machine for some cgi
scripts and uploaded them and the wouldn't work, reuploaded again this time
after editing and not using word wrap in my text editor on a windows machine
and all worked fine.
Just curious,
Adam
