It is a good idea for most lines > to be no wider than 60 characters. It seems, I have a 70-column (or char) screen when using Emacs, so if people stuck to the "good idea", that'd work for me. But the line I mentioned (in the documentation of find-file) is below the hard-limit of 80 chars, so I can't really bang them in the head with the above quote, can I? > `emacs-lisp-docstring-fill-column' Cool, will check that out! > It sometimes happens that someone writes a doc string that is > too wide. That is what `M-x report-emacs-bug' is for. You always tell me I should report all problems as bugs. I don't think that is a good attitude, I rather examine how to fix the problem myself. So you don't need to repeat that all the time. Only if I find really obvious bugs, I'll report them, and you don't need to tell me to. I stopped go on and on about the mouse, remember? So relax. But I appreciate the other info you provided. Or, put it like this: Thanks for the -- help. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
