that would work, sort of... but the idea is to make the text wrap within a
window at either a menu, or in the midst of another script, so having
preceeding spaces would mess up the surrounding graphics. the distance from the
left will also be supplied as a variable and will change depending on what's
going on.. 

you should make word_wrap take a starting_column argument! .... :)
