Benjamin,

since Version 6, .m files can be handled quite nicely, including syntax
highlighting and everything. Also, headings and some other formats are
retained.

All previous initialization cells have a different cell style if you
open the .m directly: They are rendered in "Code". This cellstyle
obviously does no linewrapping. If you format long lines as "Input",
wrapping is done immediately.

I presume there must be some option to turn linewrapping for certain
cell style, but I did not find it (not that I've been searching hard).

So the question is: how to turn on linewrapping for cellstyles?

Also, .m files are always opened in a small window and do not remember
changed window size etc. - also quite annoying.

Any tips would be appreciated.


Regards,
Yves
