In particular, I'd like to be able to toggle the background color of the current fill-column to display a vertical stripe in my editing window, thus showing where the text is in proportion to the right margin (fill-column) setting. Has this been done before, and if so, can anyone point me to how to do it? I've checked M-x apropos, both FAQs, EmacsWIKI, and the google archives of this newsgroup, and haven't found the answer yet. Thanks in advance for any assistance or pointers. Kind regards, Eric Pement - pemente[at]northpark[dot]edu
