Now I have to go through my init file and fix any misused setq-defaults. *sigh* (My goal in using the hook was to keep the fill-column limited to those modes derived from text-mode. I.e., I didn't want it to affect fundamental-mode.) All these years of using Emacs, and I'm still pretty much a tyro at Elisp. Ah well, I learn. Slowly, maybe, but I learn. --Dale --=20 A child of five could understand this!
