Hi there!

I used to use Mess-Dos (years ago). While that's terrible enough in itself, I
have been spoiled by features of "editors" like MS-Word that distinguish
between "hard" and "soft" newlines. Why do I always have to type M-q after
changing something in the middle of a paragraph?

What I would like to have is the following:

Normally, Emacs displays lines that are longer than fill-column by inserting a
backslash at the end and doing a wrap. What I want is to have a _word-wrap_.

Please reply by email

Thanx,

		-- Kai
