In the file itself the line then is a single line that does go on  
forever.  Vi shows you the wrapped line for your convenience.  You  
can verify this by placing the cursor at the beginning of such a line  
and doing an end of line command.  I use shift-A (go to end and  
append) as it is one of the few vi command I can remember.  In this  
case I just ESC out of the append mode.  (yes, I should learn more  
vi ) .  If after doing this, the cursor is at the end of your very  
long line that looks like multiple lines, then that is one very long  
line that looks wrapped only.
