John, the difference is when choosing which focus point to use, no wrap means going fully left (or right) then if you wanted to use a focus point on the right you would have to use the multi toggle switch and toggle right going through the centre points then end up on the rightmost point, if using wrap and you were on the left most point and you pressed left one more time it would "wrap around" and appear on the right most point. In the same situation the no wrap would just stop as there was no further left to go. Hope that makes sense, easiest way is to try out what I just described in both modes

Wrap means that if you move the focus area selection around, when you get to the edge and keep moving it will move to the other side.
No wrap it will just stop at the edge.

I hope that made sense.. :?
and I was beaten :P
