This doesn't make sense. &nbsp;&quot;command line&quot; is normally provided by shell (/bin/sh and the like), but shells are not configured via .Xdefaults.<br />
<br />
More details, please?

.Xdefaults has no influence on word wrapping.<br />
<br />
bash input is controlled by ~/.inputrc /etc/inputrc<br />

how to prevent word wrap on command line in unix

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
