I tried googling with "vvb.el emacs" and the only link that came up was your post above. A search on "emacs draw vertical line" only produced links to what appears to be a graph package. Would this really just put in a vertical line at line-length and allow me to type text past it? If so, it sounds ideal. Is it really vvb.el? If so do you have a link to it somewhere?
