I informed some users at work to use 'less' instead 'vi' when they view
logs. One came back saying 'less' couldn't do it for him, since click to
select won't follow a wrapped long word even if the word stays in one line
(although wrapped to several lines on the screen).  vi did it just fine from
the same shell session. Same results for Putty and rxvt  by Cygwin.

RTFM told me to try '-A' switch. tried to no avail. Any idea?
