The trick is applying it. Someone on this list can add to my post -- I don't know how to apply it to the current buffer, because it requires an arguments (the number of characters per column). I use it in my .emacs file: (add-hook 'text-mode-hook `(lambda () (column-number-mode 1) (line-number-mode 1) (menu-bar-mode 0) (auto-fill-mode 1) (set-fill-column 92))) This tells it to wrap at 92 characters when I'm in text mode. I don't want it to wrap when I'm in programming (C, java, perl, whatever) mode, so I leave that hook out of the 'C-mode-hook. -ben -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ben Hartshorne ...Discarding smoothly, as we disembark, ben@hartshorne.net All thoughts that held us wiser for a moment ben.hartshorne.net Up there, alone, in the impartial dark. -M.
