CPU & Memory Vi horizontal scrolling

I have to look through logfiles where lines are several hundred characters long and if I open the log in Vi it automatically word wraps the line. In Vim you can use the -nowrap option to stop this, but how can you do this in Vi?
I ask because I don't want to see the whole line, just the first few characters... but I do want to see the next line directly below.

For example instead of seeing in vi:

Line1
Line1(cont)
Line1(cont)
Line2
Line2(cont)
Line3

I want to see:

Line1......scroll offscreen
Line2......scroll offscreen
Line3

Thanks for any help
