BUFFER-CHARS attribute (Character interfaces only) The number of characters a user can enter on each line of the editor. Data type: INTEGER Access: Readable/Writeable Applies to: EDITOR widget You can set this attribute only before the editor widget is realized. The value must be an integer expression that is equal to or greater than the value specified by the WIDTH-CHARS or INNER-CHARS attributes. If greater, horizontal scrolling is enabled. When the last character is typed on a line in the editor, the text input cursor automatically wraps to the next line. This attribute can also set the word wrap margin for the WORD-WRAP attribute.
