[ale] Line truncation in a terminal....

[John Wells]

If I do a "ps -ef", the lines returned span the entire width of my current
terminal.

However, if I do a "ps -ef | grep something", the resulting lines truncate
at around 63 characters.

Another problem is that, in the first case, if the line goes beyond what
my terminal can display, it *doesn't* wrap....I just can't see those
lines.

What explains the difference in behavior here, and what can I change to
control it?  I'm assuming it's based on TERM setting, but would like some
more info...


Thanks as always,

John
