The fact that the code is stored in some tokenized form is of course why
you can't turn off the pretty printing *all of the time*.  What I want, some-
thing like a "hard return" (say, command-return) to always break a line could
fairly easily be added in without a lot of hard work.  Even just a wrap-around
margin at column 80 would make me happy - horizontal scrolling is for the
birds!  (I wanna see my program!)  Also some way of joining two lines into
one should be available (for those "end else statement" lines);  Given the
limited screen space available (yes someday I will buy a 19" monitor), I want:
a) to see the whole program without any horizontal scrolling, and
b) to see as much of my program as possible in one screen (e.g., don't put
   else and end on separate lines).

And as you say, LSP is truly a great product at a very good price; I suppose
I should be happy enough - its just that I want it ALL!!!
