}Yes, picture-mode.  It appears that many of the motion commands will work in
}other modes as well.

The picture-mode macros silently fill lines out to the cursor position with
whitespace characters whenever you move the cursor beyond the end of a line.
(Well, not quite silently, the "buffer-modified" flag is turned on so that it
shows on the status line that you've made a change).

I would prefer that the fill operation be postponed until I actually type
some data.  In my "spare" time (ha!) I hope to rewrite the macros to support
this if it is possible.  Has anyone already done this or something like it?

regards, Larry
