Thanks. Frivolous bugs? 1. I was told clearly by RMS on more than one occasion that I had to shorten lines in source code I submitted which were only 90 or 100 chars wide. That was clearly the GNU Emacs policy - at the time, at least. 2. Lines over 200 chars wide defeat the usefulness of automatically fitting the frame (or window) to the width of the buffer content. It requires users who use such autofitting to then follow up by resizing the frame/window by hand. Please do not _create_ frivolous bugs. It is dead simple to chop strings by inserting `\' characters. Requires no effort, makes the code more readable, and complies with the GNU policy (such as it was, at least).
