I cannot seem to get .emacs to turn on auto-fill-mode for default/fundamental
mode?... Please help...

This doesn't make emacs default to auto-fill-mode...

   (add-hook 'fundamental-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

Neither does this in .emacs help either....


   (turn-on-auto-fill)

Nor this...

   (auto-fill-mode)

For cryin' out loud! Why isn't it going on??

IT WORKS WITHIN EMACS IF I DO "M-x auto-fill-mode"!?!?!

Ahhhh!!!
