Basically the answer is NO. The most closer thing I can do is to cut long lines
with a command. For example: you select a block and then the editor reformats
it.
If you are wondering why a simple thing that can be done with a very simple
editor can't be done with mine (at least not in a easy way), is because I keep
a look-up table with the lenght and attributes of each LINE in your text. So
adding a word wrap and mantaining the other working could be a big hell.
I can make a reformat thing, but in my case I don't need such a thing because I
look the screen when I write so I ca introduce the ENTER without problems.
Perhaps I can add something like the editor I'm using right now (Pegasus), it
just inserts ENTER if I cross some column, but isn't smart at all, if I delete
things in the above line it doesn't reformat, if I join 2 lines it never will
cut the line again. That's relative easy, perhaps is enough.
