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!!!
Chris

This doesn't work because fundamental mode does not have any hooks:
The `fundamental-mode' function does _not_ run any hooks; you're
not supposed to customize it. (If you want Emacs to behave
differently in Fundamental mode, change the _global_ state of
Emacs.)

No, I think the point of fundamental mode is that every option and
command has the default non-customized behaviour. So if you want auto
fill, you should probably use some other mode than fundamental mode --
maybe change the option `default-major-mode' to something else.
