..Anybody know how to set it up so that the ingame
editor will automatically break down too-long lines
into several?

A couple of my builders seem to have this problem with hitting their enter keys while writing descs, and I can't find any mention of this problem anywhere...

If it helps, apparently Circle has this function in it..

Most editors use <command character>f (ie .f) to format lines to 75ish chars long. The drawback to this is colorcodes are typically counted as characters unless you rewrite the format function ever so slightly.
