Simple word wrapping function. Simply use textwrap() in place of the text command.

I.E. textwrap("Really long string that needs to be wrapped",100,100,25)

textwrap(string,x,y,characters per line)

+ Code Snippet

function textwrap(s$,x,y,maxchar)
    line$ = first token$(s$," ")
    repeat
        token$ = next token$(" ")
        if len(line$+token$) > maxchar
            inc count
            text x+30,y+50+(20*count),line$
            line$ = token$
        else
            line$ = line$+" "+token$
         ENDIF
    UNTIL token$ = ""
    text x+30,y+50+(20*(count+1)),line$
endfunction
