There were a few ways that could occur: one would be a line of 80 dashes, one would be a line of 80 underscores, and there were a few variants that i could systematically locate (by searching for the offending pattern followed by a control-J), and then fix. Searching for control-J by itself wouldn't do because i only wanted to get to the end of lines that are too long. So what i was missing was an easy way to search to the end of the next line with 80 or more characters. Basically, i would like to search for the continuation character which signifies that the next visible line is not really a new line. In the emacs gui, this is depicted as a curved arrow in the margin. In text emas, this is signified by a backslash (that you cannot search for as a backslash). Since emacs can do everything else, i imagine there must be some way to search for this, but i cannot recall ever having done so. Thanks for any clues on how to do this. dan
