Did you use %dlcol% at the beginning of the paragraph containing the
list?

The lines do break as you want them to, when the window gets narrower.
If you want to force shorter lines, you can try this for example:

$HTMLStylesFmt['columnlist'] = "
  dl.dlcol dt { float:left; padding-right:0.5em; } 
  dl.dlcol dd { margin-left:13em; width:25em; }\n";

$WikiStyle['dlcol']['apply'] = 'list';
$WikiStyle['dlcol']['class'] = 'dlcol';

This adds a width:25em to the 'definition' parts of the list.
Change to suit.
