Does any one out there know a good way to edit a file
with long (>255) lines without them wrapping?

I use a SPARC station2 with Open Windows and ideally
what I would like is something like textedit with a
horizontal scroll bar, so that I can have a *real*
window on my file which can be scrolled both horizontally
and vertically. I have tried the clip lines in textedit
but there still seems to be hard limit on the maximum width
and it is quite hard to move horizontally.
