Not quite.  I'm talking about how the console seems to act in different 
windows.  In one, when I reach the end of the line on a long command it 
automatically wraps to the NEXT line.  In the other (which is in the Kate 
window), it wraps to the SAME line.  In a previous install, it did that in 
both windows, so I'm trying to figure out what setting I need to change so it 
wraps to the NEXT line in Kate as well as in Konsole.
