Peter
Thank you for the information. I accidentally deleted Ken's post without
having read it.
Ken' s thought is great but as you said awful to implement
I thought that capture.output would come in handy some time when I first
saw it on an unrelated reply.
Just thought :- the latex listings package may have alternatives
If I remember correctly it has wrapping and other goodies but I when I
started to investigate it a while ago I somehow came up with a
non-compilable tex file.
I needed help from someone with more latex experience to progress
