At the bottom of the "LPEX Editor" global-scope preference pages, there 
are also preferences for the currently open documents (maintained 
dynamically, as you open / close documents).  The top node has "Maximum 
line length" (on the LPEX command line, this is the "save.textLimit" 
parameter).

A generic 'macro' command to hard-wrap lines (e.g., based on the 
save.textLimit or a passed-in argument) is an excellent idea. 
Parser-specific stuff could then extend it for the language (e.g., don't 
wrap on a space in the middle of a C/C++ "s t r i n g").
