OK, I am using a proportional spaced font and, want to use auto-fill mode.
I want to word wrap at pixel 630, so I set 'fill-pixel to 630, but epoch
still rolls over after the 80th character.  So I set fill-column to nil and
epoch doesnt wrap at all and gives a "Wrong type arguement" error.  What
am I doing wrong?  Thanks!!

-Phil
