WIBNI the output from system commands was wrapped according to the current width of the _Ride_ session - contentious issue possibly #1365

Description

@dyaandys

In Ride

)fns
The output is wrapped at 70 columns - the current ⎕pw.
Adjust the size of the Ride session window and run again. Still wrapping at 9 columns
But
1000⍴⎕a
wraps at 79
⎕pw←10000
1000⍴⎕a
doesn't wrap at 79.

Why don't we as a first pass display the output of system commands with wrapping at the current width of the session ?
