Well...I finally found some :help related to this. From :help ftplugin
(then scroll down or search for the "OPTIONS" section):
> To make sure the filetype plugin only affects the current buffer use the

However, I am still stumped about a good way to accomplish setting
window-local options based on filetype. I tried this, in my .vimrc:
autocmd FileType txt call setbufvar(expand("<afile>"), "&wrap", 1)
autocmd FileType txt call setbufvar(expand("<afile>"),
"&linebreak", 1)
The wrong window STILL gets its option set, even though I explicitly
specify the buffer to apply it to.
