The MS-DOS Editor and QBasic programs do not allow character wrapping
on the screen or printouts.
When you choose the Print command from the File menu in MS-DOS Editor
or QBasic, if there are more than 80 characters on a single line,
those characters do not wrap to the next line. Instead, after the
80th character, the letters are either truncated or continue to
print beyond the right edge of the page.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a program such as Microsoft Windows
Write or another word processor that provides text formatting and
printing for ASCII text files.
