Does the LW editor have the equivalent of a statement like (setq next-line-add-newlines nil) in GNU Emacs? I'm particularly interested in having such a feature in an editor-pane belonging to a delivered application. It can be quite annoying when pressing the down-arrow adds newlines behind your back which change the semantics of what you've typed (in this particular case). Thanks, Edi.

My editor (the actual LW editor not a pane in an application) doesn't add newlines on C-n at the end of the buffer, but I can't find anywhere that I set it! Very mysterious. --tim

I'm on Windows right now (LW 4.2.7 pro) and for me it adds exactly one newline if I press down-arrow or C-n - in the editor itself as well as in editor-panes. Only one but still too much for my task... :) Edi.

But only one. It's not like the emacs behaviour where by default it does (or used to, it's so long since I turned it off I'm not sure if it still does). My guess (without src...) is that this is something to do with the should-a-newline-be-added-on-write thing? If the file already ends in a newline will it add an extra one? --tim

I meant `where by default it ... adds a newline each time you say next-line at the end of the buffer'. Sorry, I need a new brain. --tim
