Apparent screen area varies by platform, web browser, resolution, font style,
and font size.

Consider increasing your screen resolution, or decreasing the point size of your
browser's fixed width font.  Using Windows, Netscape, 640x480 screen resolution,
and Courier New at 10 pts, the 80 character word wrapping just barely goes off
the edge of the screen.  I once had word wrapping at 75 characters, which would
just fit in this configuration, but it would mess up the display of PGN games -
the last move of each line would appear on a line by itself after word wrapping.
