Here is a simple description file for a text frame:
title="Words to Live By" columns=40 lifetime=longterm wrap=truetext="We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America."
Text.USA: an example of a text frame
The lifetime descriptor defines this text frame to remain on display until the user issues a cleanup or close command. The wrap descriptor defines word-wrapping to occur: that is, a word that will not fit entirely on the current line will be displayed in full on the next line. The frame will look like this:
Text.USA: screen output
Notice that even though the text is wrapped at 40 columns, the original newline characters are preserved.
