What I mean is that if you or someone else display (or print) a file where the lines are longer than 80 characters on a standard terminal the result will look something like this, that is, ugly and hard to read. Moreover, long lines are hard to read even when the linebreaks occur in the right places. -- August _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
