Hi!

I guess that a solution to this problem will be platform-dependend
(friendly staff @ Mjolner, please correct me if that is not correct).
I tried this on Windows myself, but I was not able to get it working.
The problem with some parts of guienv is that it is not fully platform
independent.
The best example is that Windows wraps text in a static text, but Unix
(tested on SunOS/Solaris and Linux with Lesstif) won't wrap.
But I still hope that there is or will be a soultion in the upcoming
release of the new Mjolner Beta System.

Regards,
Sascha Kimmel
