I dunno, I regularly use vi as well to debug machines that don't have vim on them. It's annoying not to have some features of vim, but word wrapping was never an issue.
Are you sure it's not just the shell program you're using?
edit: Actually, maybe I see what you mean. You're annoyed that it's not wrapping entire words, so you see something like this
CodeThe quick brown fox jumps over the la
zy dog.
That's kind of just par for the course when using very limited editors (which vi is, for all its merits; but so is practically every other super-simplistic unix editor out there). You could in theory make this less likely to happen by widening your shell window before opening vi.
that was the problem yeah. Can you edit the shell window in the.cshrc with a command?
and after you restart it it will be bigger?
I should mention I was having these issues with Putty. The schools default viewer for vi doesn't have as many issues.
