setting the maximun number of columns

setting the maximun number of columns

[Rodrigo Canellas]

Hi!

I would like the text to be wrapped at a certain column. 

I tried 'set-windows-margin', but I have to guess the correct right margin. I 
would like something like 'set-max-column', but I could not find it. 

Does anyone know how should I do it?

Thanks,
  Rodrigo Canellas

C-x f runs the command set-fill-column
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.

It is bound to C-x f.
(set-fill-column ARG)

Set `fill-column' to specified argument.
Use C-u followed by a number to specify a column.
Just C-u as argument means to use the current column.
