I don't know about nvi, but in vim the "formatoptions" must also be set properly to wrap the lines. (Also, in vim the variable "textwidth" must be set, not "wraplen") Someone else said to set it to "t", mine is set to "tcq". Also, gqip or gqap will rewrap the current paragraph. gqG will reqwrap from here to the end of the buffer, gq} will rewrap from here to the end of the current paragraph. -D
