							Thus it is a real
    deficiency that EMACS cannot truncate lines at the right margin, since there
    are a lot of people in the world that seem to like it.  This is impossible in
    EMACS as it is now...

In fact there is a TECO flag that controls whether or not lines
are truncated.  It is always set to not truncate in ^R mode
(which is what EMACS is always in) but it probably wouldn't be
too hard to fix this, if anybody cared enough to do it.
