Hello,
I set my Emacs to automatically wordwrap long sentences. It works great.
However, I don't know how to customize the number of characters from which
the wordwrap functions starts work. For example, I want sentences to be
wordwrapped at character #74.
Does anyone knows how to do this? Thanks.

Cheers, Peter

C-h f auto-fill-mode RET shows me this:
/----
| auto-fill-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
| (auto-fill-mode &optional ARG)
|
| Toggle Auto Fill mode.
| With arg, turn Auto Fill mode on if and only if arg is positive.
| In Auto Fill mode, inserting a space at a column beyond `current-fill-column'
| automatically breaks the line at a previous space.
|
| The value of `normal-auto-fill-function' specifies the function to use
| for `auto-fill-function' when turning Auto Fill mode on.
\----
So it's current-fill-column.
Also see the command C-x f (set-fill-column).

When I do this, I am prompted:
set-fill-column requires an explicit argument
I don't know how to specify one for it. Please help! :(

You can provide an argument with the command C-u (universal-argument):
C-u 5 4 C-x f
will set the fill-column to 54.

C-u 42 C-x f sets it to 42.
(setq default-fill-column 42) in ~/.emacs sets the default.
