Hi everybody, I'm new to the list but have been using emacs for 12 years :-)

I've finally upgraded to emacs version 21.2.1

My question is regards to the "fringes" and how I might go about turning them
off.
I can change the colors and fonts etc. but I just don't want to see them at all.

Or, am I just use to the "old" way which didn't have fringes and someone might
like to explain to me why I should really keep them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

//Chuck
