Hi

I want to line wrap at column 72.
I have the following lines in my .emacs

(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(setq current-fill-column 72)

It does not work on NTEmacs 21.1.1 running under Win2K, or on 20.7
running under Redhat 7.2.

At the bottom of the window, the NT version says (Lisp interaction
fill)
At the bottom of the window, the Red Hat version says (Text fill)

The Options menu for the NT version allows me to choose 'word wrap'. I
turned it on and it also does not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
