given a long line indented to some nominal number of spaces, how can
I format this line to preset paragraph width but with each line in
paragraph retaining the original indentation.
example:

     Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with leftover cheese 
and bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.

     becomes:

     Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with leftover cheese
     and bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.

I use the external program 'fmt' to do it, like this:

:.,.!fmt

Does that give you the results you want?
