    You should be able to do this with something lik ethe foolwing in
yoru "initialization" file.

    ; This sets "text mode" as the dafault "major mode."
    (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)

    ; This configures "text mode" with automatic "word wrap."
    (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

    That should cover it.
