Initially, I would have thought that the local nowrap, terminal driver
/WRAP combination should have appears the same.  Strangely enough, the
terminal emulator I was checking didn't show this.  While testing it,
I was performing the same tests on 2 VT terminals (VT220 and VT525, as
well as, a DECterm).  I was simple taken aback when I saw differences
that were shown on the VTs and DECterm but not this terminal emulator.
I am, of course, convinced now that the terminal emulator got it flat
out wrong.
