think i worked out the bugs with my line wrapping change. anyone who
has mxp support can ignore this, but for anyone else, from now on
when there's a new line as part of a message, it shouldn't indent
the next line. i can't really think of a lot of places this happened
(one was with sacrifice to shirija) but there are probably a few.
also, it is now set up so that you can set the amount you will be
indented by using the command 'indent'. it works similar to the
rows/columns command.

also made it so that you can completely turn off wrapping (mud-side,
not client side) by doing columns -1 :)

fyi, the reason to make this change, for peope who don't have mxp
support, is that when the mud does the wrapping, every time it
applies a wrap, it ends the previous line with a \\n which tells
your client (when it gets to your client) that the next line is a
new line. this confuses your client into thinking that any trigs
should only work if they're on the specific individual line that
ends in the \\n. for people with zmud, and therefore mxp, the mud
never wrapped your lines, so this has always been an option for you.
for people using tf and portal, this has been an issue (and a
majorly irritating one).

of course, if you resize your window, it will tell columns to change
the size again, so you'll have to change it back. some clients allow
you to turn off that automatic feature, i suggest you do that.
otherwise just set it back manually lie you've probably had to do
for rows all along :P

i was requested that i make it work with rows as well, and i have
done so. just an fyi, if it doesn't work somewhere that it should,
all you have to do to fix it is set rows to the normal number. same
for if columns doesn't work somewhere. however, if you notice such
issues, do mudmail me about them.
