[reportlab-users] Bit of help with wrapping text in a paragraph

I'm having an excellent time using pdfgen (dl'ed yesterday).
I'm stuck on how exactly to wrap the text in a paragraph.

Basically, I want the following text:
'dslkfjlkjfkjsalfjasldfjlasjdflajsfljaslfjasldfjalsjfklaksdjf'

to wrap (in a paragraph size of my choosing) to:
'lksdjflajsdflajsdfj
lsdjflakjsdflkjasdlf
lajflkajsdflkjasldkf'

I've read the docs on flowables, but it isn't quite speaking to me. ;-)
The only thing I found on google was some 'over the top' code for wrapping
text around a picture, which is a bit beyond what I'm after.

Any help would be appreciated muchly.

Bill.
