example:

string="kljhsadflkhasfdjkhasdflhsadlfjhsadfjhsdlfhaslfdhsadflsdaflhasdfljkh";
console.gotoxy(10,1); //move to the first row, 10 spaces from the left edge

console.putmsg(word_wrap(string,10)); 

result:

          kljhsadflk
asfdjkhas
flhsadlfjh
etc....

----------------------------


What I needed was for the string to wrap at a distance from the left side,
but the word_wrap function displays the rest of the wrapped lines at the 
beginning of the next line.

desired result:

          kljhsadflk
          asfdjkhas
          flhsadlfjh
          etc..

you dig? I got it working, at any rate, just wanted to get on the same page 
with you in case you know of a better/easier way to do it.
