Re: How to set wrap line at window edge

[bar tomas]

Many thanks for all your help.
Is there no way of telling emacs to wrap around when it gets to the end
of the window instead of setting the wrap to a fixed column? I mean the
window may be enlarged or reduced and the number of columns it can pack
in varies.
Thanks again.

"C-7 C-2 C-x f" will wrap at column 72.

;put in your ~/.emacs to setup new emacs session to wrap at col 72
(setq-default fill-column 72)
