This question pertains to adding newlines. I am using a frame configuration of : (setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 123) (height . 43) (cursor-type . bar) (cursor-color . "black"))) For the present project I am working on I need to keep all lines to a fixed length of 75 columns. Is there a way to enable emacs to automatically add newlines when I type out of the 75 column bound. I need a way to do this without changing my frame configuration. The reason for this is that with this configuration(and font size I am using), the emacs frame occupies the whole of my computer screen, which is what somebody would usually want. Thanks in advance, Colin.
