Currently, jed's display routines do not support the wrapping of
lines.  For the next development series, I plan to revisit the display
routines and add support for multiple (overlapping) windows.  That
will provide a good opportunity to consider wrapping support.

I do not know what you mean.  Where "text should wrap" is context
sensitive.  For example, as I recall, code written for FORTRAN 77
should wrap at column 72.

The size of the terminal is given by the SCREEN_WIDTH and
SCREEN_HEIGHT variables.
