Command line no longer wrapping

Command line no longer wrapping

My command line is no longer wrapping when I enter commands that extend past my COLUMNS= value. They used to and i don't know what's changed. Now I see "my command......< and it keeps scrolling to the right. Can anyone help me make my command line wrap again? It is happening on both our linux and hp-ux based machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you,

Randy

Re: Command line no longer wrapping

It would be something to do with your terminal emulation. What type of hardware you have? Is it a console or X terminal? Check the settings on Terminal emulation manager about text wrapping.

If you are using an X/window screen, just resize the right
margin using hpterm and make sure that your environment was updated
(ie, ROWS and COLUMNS are changed). If not, use eval resize (or
/usr/bin/X11/resize) to set the right values.
