Thank You! I have searched for this some time ago but all 'hints' guided me towards vim(1) :set nowrap option. I checked now the vi(1) [nvi] man page on FreeBSD and it indeed has leftright option. % man vi | grep -A 1 leftright leftright [off] vi only. Do left-right scrolling. But I never interpreted that as 'nowrap' equivalent. Thanks again and have a great life.
