How to prevent words from breaking up in the terminal
 

Hi. This is my first question here :)

I am a beginner C programmer. I use GCC to compile my programs. I am using Ubuntu 11.10

Whenever a line in the program gets longer than the terminal width, the last word break up. For example: "How are you today?" becomes "How are yo <next line> u today?" Same thing happens with numbers. Is there a way I can configure the terminal not to break words like that and just take the whole word to the next line? I am new to Linux so please explain in an easy way :D

Thanks. Cheers.

Maybe changing the size of the terminal will help. My original post is old enough, but read the comments too; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rminal-743155/

Thanks :)
