I think what you're looking for is the 'set-fill-column' and
'auto-fill-mode' option. The trick is applying it. Someone on this
list can add to my post -- I don't know how to apply it to the current
buffer, because it requires an arguments (the number of characters per
column). I use it in my .emacs file:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
`(lambda ()
(column-number-mode 1)
(line-number-mode 1)
(menu-bar-mode 0)
(auto-fill-mode 1)
(set-fill-column 92)))
This tells it to wrap at 92 characters when I'm in text mode. I don't
want it to wrap when I'm in programming (C, java, perl, whatever) mode,
so I leave that hook out of the 'C-mode-hook.
