[R] character vectors not wrapping

[Griffith Feeney]

A character vector with a single component consisting of a long string gets
truncated with $ on the right side of the R console window.

The preceding sentence, for example, assigned to 'test' by cut and paste,
renders like this (window maximized, 17" monitor, 800x600, if this matters):

[1] "A character vector with a single component consisting of a long string
gets truncated with $

The point of truncation changes when the window is resized with the mouse.
options(width=[value]) seems to work for other objects (e.g., one and two
dimenional arrays).

I'm using R (Rgui.exe) 0.90.1 on Windows 95 original relase (4.00.950).
I've been through the documentation, can't find anything on this. It is a
nuisance because I often can't read R error messages. Is there a setting I
need to change, aside from options(width=...)? Thanks.
