You seem to be working with files that for some reason can't be wrapped, which in and of itself tends to make things difficult. What this mode does is to change the *appearance* of the buffer such that long lines are wrapped at the fill-column, but in actuality it takes an actual newline () to finish a line when the actual file is saved. I'd suggest checking it out (M-x longlines-mode ). Amy -- You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. -- Franklin P. Jones
