In the file itself the line then is a single line that does go on forever. Vi shows you the wrapped line for your convenience. You can verify this by placing the cursor at the beginning of such a line and doing an end of line command. I use shift-A (go to end and append) as it is one of the few vi command I can remember. In this case I just ESC out of the append mode. (yes, I should learn more vi ) . If after doing this, the cursor is at the end of your very long line that looks like multiple lines, then that is one very long line that looks wrapped only.
