how to wrap text in WIDGET_TEXT() [message #3200]

I can't seem to get text to wrap in editable text fields created by
WIDGET_TEXT in IDL.

My app puts the current valuie of a text variable in a TEXT widget, and
then the user can edit it. The stringh in question can be anywhere from 10
to maybe 100 characters, and long strings just run off the end of the
field. Dragging the mouse will bring hidden parts of the string into view,
but I want the user to be able to see the whole string at once.

I have tried using the keyword YSIZE to enlarge the text field in the
widget, but the text still doesn't wrap. I just get one very long line
that is mostly hidden and several blank ones underneath.

If it matters, I am using IDL 3.6.1 on an HP 715 under VUE/Motif.
