Wim, I use PFE32 and I have no problems with long lines up to 255 chars. I
adjust and save the word-wrap options for various kinds of files. Check your
Print and Text Formatting options. As far as embedded ASCII control codes
(ie: FF), Use the Edit/Text/Insert ASCII Codes menu. Which version of PFE are
you using?

   I'd sure like to meet, and personally thank, the guy that wrote PFE and
released it as `Freeware'. It's an excellent editor for programmers.
