I used to have the same constraint when using one of my handheld units... However, I don't really understand what you are saying in point (2). What is "it" in "not sure _it_ will work"? If you are referring to visual-line-mode, it only affects the display on the screen (for text buffers) and has absolutely no impact on version control or any tool that works with the underlying file. cheers, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 23.2.1 : using Org-mode version 7.3 (release_7.3.124.g6e3f) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
