-  When a line of text extends beyond the right edge of a window, the
-line can either be continued on the next screen line, or truncated to
-one screen line.  The additional screen lines used to display a long
-text line are called @dfn{continuation} lines.  Normally, tiny arrow images
-are displayed in the window fringes to indicate truncated and continued
-lines (*note Fringes).
-
-   On a text terminal, a `$' in the rightmost column of the window
-indicates truncation; a `\' on the rightmost column indicates a
-continued line that "wraps" onto the next line.  (The display table can
-specify alternative indicators; see *Note Display Tables.)
