Great. That hits the nail on the head. Thanx.

Jesper - I do use auto-fill mode anyway! It is just too easy to type in 
a really long method call with no gaps and then find out at the end that 
I've gone over the fill-column but the auto-fill-mode does nothing to 
it, and even if it had done some wrapping, I would probably want to 
adjust it to make the code look prettier. If you follow me.
