fill-region

[Robert Boyer]

In GNU Emacs 21.4.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2005-07-27 on thrud.cs.utexas.edu
configured using `configure  --prefix=/lusr/opt/emacs-21.4 --with-x-toolkit=yes 
--with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-png --enable-largefiles'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: nil
  locale-coding-system: nil
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

If the region is the following text and I invoke fill-region

|w0|    
|w1|    
|w2|    
|w3|    
|w4|    
|w5|    
|w6|    
|w7|    
|w8|    
|w9|    
|w10|   
|w11|   
|w12|   
|w13|   
|w14|   
|w15|   
|w16|   
|w17|   
|w18|   
|cn+x~| 
|cn+y~| 
|cn+z~| 
|y|     
|x|     


I get the following text

|w0| w1| w2| w3| w4| w5| w6| w7| w8| w9| w10| w11| w12| w13| w14| w15|
|w16| w17| w18| cn+x~| cn+y~| cn+z~| y| x|

So where did all those vertical bars go?????

Thanks so much for Emacs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
