[Info-vax] EDT and SET WORD [NO]DELIMITER

A while back I expressed the desire to have my word delimiters normally 
not be words in themselves so that when the first character after the 
full line length (defined via SET WRAP) is reached is a delimiter it  
will wrap to the next line together with what is in the word immediately 
before it while at the same time have the opposite behaviour when moving 
with KP1 and KP and deleting with KP-.  After some suggestions here, I 
put SET WORD NODELIMITER in EDTINI.EDT to make it the default.  I 
defined CON N and CON D (surprisingly they weren't yet defined) to 
switch to the other behaviour when needed (i.e. CON D before I start 
using KP1 or KP- and CON N to return to the default behaviour when I am 
done). 

So far, so good.

What I would now like to have is the NODELIMITER behaviour also when a 
delimiter is the beginning character of a new word which then wraps to 
the next line.  Whether I have NODELIMITER or DELIMITER doesn't matter 
in this case.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Also, since "'" is used to delimit the string, is there any way to get 
"'" itself to be a delimiter?
