VMS Help DSR, DSR Flags, Break  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Break flag (|) tells DSR where it may break a word that
    occurs at the end of a line. You might want DSR to be able to
    break a word after a slash (/) or a hyphen (-) that is part
    of the word (for example, "a yes/no response"). The Break flag
    allows a line to end where the flag occurs; no hyphen is ever
    inserted because of it.

    If the flag is turned on and inserted at break points, DSR is
    able to break the word at any of the specified points. If more
    than one Break flag is present in a word that DSR is breaking at
    the end of a line, DSR leaves as much of the word as possible on
    the line; that is, it breaks the word at the last possible Break
    flag.

    The Break flag works the same whether .JUSTIFY or .NO JUSTIFY is
    in effect.

    Recognition is turned off. To turn on recognition, you must use
    the .FLAGS BREAK command.
