Inserting StrongED$WrapWidth = 132 in an HTML file overrides the
figure in Softwrap in Mode Choices (wrapwidth figure of 132 appears in
the Information bar). This confirms Martin's earlier posting. If I
insert the command string into HTML's ModeFile (with a comment prefix
character... #) and saved in StrED_cfg.UserPrefs it gets ignored. What
am I doing incorrectly please?

When this command string is working should I expect the window to
extend horizontally to this wrapwidth? This is obviously what I would
like to happen but doesn't.

David and Tony's suggestions earlier on don't appear to work the way I
expected. If I drag out a window for an HTML to WW=132 and save its
