Peculiarities with Edlin's Line Display
This article was previously published under Q68003
Edlin appears to treat lines containing 69 characters as though they
visually wrap on the screen. To see this behavior, use Edlin's "L"
command.
Normally, without line wrapping, Edlin's "L" command displays one full
screen of text. If a line containing 69 characters is contained within
the lines being displayed, the following prompt is displayed:
The number of lines displayed on the screen at this point is fewer
than one full screen, even though screen wrapping has not occurred.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 4.0,
4.01, and 5.0. Edlin is not included with later versions of MS-DOS.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft MS-DOS 4.0 Standard Edition
- Microsoft MS-DOS 4.01 Standard Edition
- Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
