I'm not sure what you want here.  Do you want to break lines
automatically, say at column 72, wrapping words appropriately?  Then
you can set fill-column to 72, and set auto-fill on.  If you want this
to be done automatically for text mode, put the following in your
.emacs file:

	(setq text-mode-hook '(lambda () (auto-fill-mode 1)
				(set-fill-column 72)))

add to your .emacs:

	(setq auto-mode-alist (add-to-klist "\\.ftn$" 'fortran-mode
	                                   auto-mode-alist))

I'm not sure how to do the other things you asked about.
