That's how gnuemacs picture-mode works.  Picture-mode provides the
illusion of a semi-infinite quarter plane --- you just move and plop
down text.  Carriage return moves you to the beginning of the next
line; it only inserts a new line if you are at the end of the buffer.

For those familiar with vi but not emacs, picture-mode is not a
'mode' in the sense of vi insert mode.  In gnuemacs you generally
don't hop from mode to mode in the same buffer.  Instead, you use
fortran-mode to edit Fortran, latex-mode for LaTeX, text-mode for
text, etc.
