automating line wraps altogether

[Daniel R. Anderson]

Hi,

Is there any way to tell emacs to delete all newlines and rewrap at so
many chars?

Thanks,

-Dan

Couldn't you M-% C-qC-j RET RET

Set the fill column with M-x set-fill-column

Then select all the lines and do M-x fill-region RET

Sounds like you need to reset the fill-column with:

ESC <number> M-x set-fill-column

and then select your region and use:

M-x fill-region-as-paragraph
