Comments

A wordwrap function scans a text buffer (which contains text to be sent to the display), looking for the first word that does not fit on the current display line. The wordwrap function places this word at the beginning of the next line on the display. A wordwrap function defines at what point Windows should break a line of text for multiline edit controls, usually at a space character that separates two words.
