I appreciate the fast response, esp given the timestamp. :-)

I'll try the fill-column thing.

Cheers.

The variable you're looking for is fill-column.  You can set it in your
.emacs file with

'(fill-column 120)

You can also do 'C-x f' to set the variable locally for a buffer.

You might also find visual-line-mode useful; it breaks lines at buffer
edges.  I do a lot of writing and have begun to default to
visual-line-mode.

hth,
