Maybe, but I'm not sure. Richard, could you please elaborate on your suggestion? I am not entirely sure what the issue is. Perhaps it is my suggestion to create a variable to control where the right margin should be for R2L lines. I don't remember all the details, but if it's an integer, that value should be the column at which the beginning of an R2L line appears. When it is nil, use the window width (same as now).
