wrap text with disp.

The error command wraps text to fit the width of the command window, but disp does not. I know I can put in hard-wired new lines with disp, but I do not want to assume that a user's command window is N characters wide. Is there a way to let text fit the command window dynamically as it does with error?

With R2013a,64bit,Win7 your example outputs one long line. No word wrap here either. (And no warning or error message.)

No joy w/ R2012b on XP, either. Interestingly enough,
>> com.mathworks.services.Prefs.getBooleanPref('CommandWindowWrapLines')
ans =
0
>> com.mathworks.services.Prefs.setBooleanPref('CommandWindowWrapLines',1)
>> com.mathworks.services.Prefs.getBooleanPref('CommandWindowWrapLines')
ans =
1
>>
Does make it appear there is such a option but whatever it does, disp "knows nuthnk!" about it...

Seems like reasonable enhancement request -- mayhaps TMW official support can suggest a workaround meanwhile.
