WRAP controls word wrapping in the Textarea box. Wrap is supported only
by NetscapeR (NS) and Internet ExplorerR (IE) and their implementations
use different names. 
off(NS, IE) turns off text wrapping -- text scrolls until the Enter key
is pressed. (default NS). 
soft(NS)/virtual(IE) causes text to wrap at the edge of the Textarea box
but does not include these wraps as carriage returns when the data is
sent to the server. (default IE) 
hard(NS)/physical(IE) causes text to wrap at the edge of the Textarea
box and includes these wraps as carriage returns when the data is sent
to the server.
