What do you mean by "all the data" - do you mean the *entire stream* is shown on one line?

Is this data text in the form of lines (such as HTTP request/response lines and entity headers), so that there are CR/LFs in the data (as your "as if there are no CR/LF" in an earlier message suggests), and so that the problem is that the lines are wider than the window, or is it non-text data (in which case there really *aren't* CR/LFs)?

What I am trying to avoid is having to view on that data on one line.  A "Force
Wrap" option would do that for me in this case.

It might work, but it might not be the best solution; without knowing what the underlying problem is, it's not clear what the best solution would be (e.g., whether line wrapping should always be done, although some way of indicating whether a line was wrapped or not would probably be necessary, so that the user can tell the difference between two lines split by a CR/LF or LF at the end of the first line and two lines split by line wrapping).
