Theoretically the VT100 autowrap mode is understood, and specified
in termcap by :xn:.  However, you'll find that setting :xn: (and
setting the wrap bit in setup-B) works with some programs but not
all.  Curses notably does not handle :xn:.

If you don't mind having everything you type get squashed into the
last position when you reach the right margin, you could turn off
autowrap (second bit in setup-B group 3, I believe, but I don't
have a vt100 here.)
