I don't know about nvi, but in vim the "formatoptions" must also be
set properly to wrap the lines.  (Also, in vim the variable
"textwidth" must be set, not "wraplen")

Someone else said to set it to "t", mine is set to "tcq".

Also, gqip  or  gqap  will rewrap the current paragraph.  gqG  will
reqwrap from here to the end of the buffer,  gq}  will rewrap from
here to the end of the current paragraph.
