Wish I could tackle such project but too ambitious for me at present.

In rewriting Mail.Wrap 
( https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2/Oberon.Mail.Mod )
I globalized procedures which might have been local to Wrap.
WCopySeparator(), for example.

Rather than introduce a long parameter list I invented global type 
WrapData allowing parameter data bundled in one variable.

If there is a negative concensus for what I've done, procedures can be 
localized easily enough.  

To the extent of my experience, Wrap is error-free when applied to 
Oberon Text.  When applied to Text in a Document there can be some 
breakage.  I need to understand and fix that.

Given my limited expertise, feedback is certainly welcome.

Thanks,           ... Lyall E.
