Danny,

fmt did it.  Thanks.

Charles had suggested fold.  However it is not word-aware in that it cut the
line in mid-word.


Here's the resulting code:
#
# Evaluate the form, placing form variables in the environment
# under the name FORM_xxx
# This can only be called once since it handles form submission
# through POST. i.e. it reads stdin for form elements.
#
e
`eval proccgi $*`
...
echo "${FORM_message}" | sed -e 's/^M/\n/g' | fmt --split-only --width=72
...

Thanks for the help.

Enjoy,
    - Chuck
