Got something to work
When I tried fmt as shown above, the output is the input. But, the following works, breaking up the lines in test-d at occurrences of "sd" (> is a command prompt):
sed '
> s/sd/\
> /g' test-d >> test-d2
test-d2 will contain the broken lines.
Thanks for all you help.

Note to others with this problem: This solution seems to work in bash, not in tcsh, but maybe in other shells.

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
nonl
nl(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions nl(3XCURSES)
NAME
nl, nonl - enable/disable newline control
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]
c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]
#include <curses.h>
int nl(void);
int nonl(void);
DESCRIPTION
The nl() function enables the handling of newlines. The nl() function converts newline into carriage return and line feed on output and
converts carriage return into newline on input. nonl() disables the handling of newlines.
The handling of newlines is initially enabled. Disabling the handling of newlines results in faster cursor motion since X/Open Curses can
use the line-feed capability more efficiently.
RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
ERRORS
None.
