Yes, I think so. Just hit Enter from time to time. You can
make it more obvious using one (or both) or tow techniques:

* Disable text wrapping by deselecting 'Enable text wrapping'
on the View tab of the preferences.

* Show where the 80th character column is by selecting 'Display
right margin' on the View tab of the preferences.

I don't particularly care about 80 columns. I'm good with 100
or so characters per line.
