I don't know what Christopher said, but the following turns on auto-fill in all text-like modes: (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) I wish this was customizable.

Yes, I understand. Hm. It's hard to explain, but it seems to me that after a while, one sees how the Emacs maintainers think and from then on it's much easier to find new stuff in Emacs. So I keep trying to give some examples to show what Emacs is like, hoping that this will help beyond the concrete example that I'm giving. For example, I searched for "tool" because it's not clear whether it should be tool-bar or tool bar or toolbar. -- Ambibibentists unite!
