	I need help on a few points with emacs.  We are running 18.57 here 
and I would like to know if I can do somethings and if so how.

	1) in text mode (or fundemental for that matter) I would like to have
	   my editor do word wrap at the end of the line on the screen.  I 
	   would like to be able to set what that screen end of line is.  Can 
	   this be done in emacs and if so how?

	2) on the Apollo, the fortran compiler command that we use most of the 
	   time is /com/ftn....  the "ftn" compiler is looking for ".ftn" 
	   source files.  Emacs recognizes ".f" fortran source files and sets 
	   the fortran mode appropriately.  How do I add ".ftn" so that emacs 
	   recognizes these files as fortran source?

	3) when editing fortran source, I like to set my tabs for every 4 
	   spaces after column 7.  I would like to change the way emacs 
	   indents my fortran code so that it indents 4 spaces instead of 
	   three.  In addition to that, I would like to move to the next tab 
	   column, space filled, after I've typed in some part of the line.  
	   How can that be done?


	One other thing.  When I was in Boston for the X Tech. Conf., I saw a 
manual for gnuemacs for sale.  Can anyone help me get a copy of that manual.  
None of the bookstores out here seem to know about it. Thank you very much 
for your help.
