The downside of this is that it then becomes highly dependant on your terminal width. For those of us who keep 30-40 xterms around, and fire up editors all over the place, that's not necessarily a fixed quantity :) I use the 'wraplength' property, which specifies ling length instead of something so ethereal as 'right margin size'. The DOWNSIDE is that (at least in the case of nvi) it doesn't keep re-wrapped as you add/remove text, but that doesn't particularly bother me; I map ^R to fmt <foo> if I do any major changes. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Systems Administrator | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
