I seem remebering having to change one of the .el files in the mode but I cannot remember what I finally did to get it working. Anyway here are the two lines I got in my .emacs start-up file
(setq-default fill-column 78) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) One reason some people are disgusted with emacs is the changes that RMS and company puts in emacs files. Everytime a new version comes up it seems to break some old code that used to work. /------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
