Sometimes I need to widen a frame to view more text without truncation or line wrappage, though. Is it possible to get Emacs to provide a little interactive feedback as I resize the frame? Alternatively, can I display frame or window dimensions in the mode line? (I poked around some of the mode-line-format docs, but honestly didn't understand what I was looking at.) A bit of Googling and poking around in the customization didn't turn anything up. I'm stuck on Windows with Emacs running on a Linux server, so I can't go poking around window manager docs. Thx, Skip Montanaro
