Actually, GOLD-KP8 and FILLPAR. do the right thing already.  It's only 
with the automatic wrapping that there is a problem.  Maybe the easiest 
solution would be to put SET WORD NODELIMITER in EDTINI.EDT, so that 
this becomes the new default, then define some key combinations to turn 
it back to DELIMITER to get the old behaviour when moving with KP1 or 
deleting with KP- then turn it back to NODELIMITER when finished.
