Is there a way to wrap text on the screen?

I want to display a long set of instruction for the users to read and do not want the user to scroll right to read the full text. Is there a command to wrap the text, so that if the text x length is too long...it'll move to the next line?

I found an oddity in the SetTextMaxWidth command. You want to set the actual text string AFTER you use the SetTextMaxWidth command. If you set the string and then use the command, it doesn't always 'take'. It doesn't know that it should retroactively apply the display width limitation.

If you still get this in 108 then let me know, hopefully I've fixed it.

Paul, I'll try to test it next week. I'm not at home now (helping out taking care of my father).
