Of course, that may come because I cannot read eLisp that well. I got a new command, M-x highlight-column (which I didn't see embedded anywhere in the code). This highlights the text on the current column where the point is located FOR THAT SCREENFUL. But if you page-up or page-down, there is no highlighting on the screen. The background highlighting stays persistent only on the lines which composed the screen when highlight-column was first invoked. Is that the intended behavior? If so, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I want the fill-column to be highlighted regardless of where I am in the file, including spaces which do not contain any actual text. But thanks for helping out. If I could get a particular column to be highlighted throughout the file, that would be great. TIA. Eric Pement
