Well, it's actually _not_ supposed to wrap in the case of these edit boxes.
There is an "extension" attribute WRAP= for <TEXTAREA> but it's not defined
as part of the actual HTML 3.2 (or even HTML 4.01) standard. Here's what 4.01
has to say:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.7
(i.e., nothing on the WRAP= attribute).
I wonder if MSIE has a different default than NN when the wrap attribute is
omitted. I just added a WRAP=OFF (nonstandard attribute but defined in 1996
O'Reilly book on HTML), to the <TEXTAREA> tag. I haven't tested it with MSIE
yet but I'll bet it causes MSIE to stop wrapping. It can't hurt.

Hmm, maybe what the box needs is a checkbox or conflibbergibbet somewhere
asking whether you'd prefer line-wrapping by default and what size box
(height, width) you'd prefer by default.
