Establishing Proper Line Wrapping

[Rich Shepard]

   I've used rxvt for years on Slackware and just switched to rxvt-unicode
for its UTF-8 support. The urxvt works fine except for not properly wrapping
long lines. The result is quite distracting and annoying. I find nothing
appropriate on the man pages or the wiki.

   When I cd to a subdirectory several levels down, or try creating a very
long command line, it is wrapped, but also truncated on the left side.
Example:

[rshepard at salmo ~]$ cd GIS/GRASS/grass-6.5svn/
</configure --with-postgres --
<s --with-sqlite --with-cairo --with-freetype --with-cxx \ 
> --with-geos=usr/bin/geos-config --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
<ython-config --with-wxwidgets=/usr/bin/wx-config \

   With vanilla rxvt I'd see the entire lines. With urxvt this occurs no
matter how wide I make the terminal window.

   Please advise me how to fix this display issue.

TIA,

Rich
