Can it be arranged to have GNU-EMACS truncate the line (with possibly a
trailing character to indicate this), but not wrap it when auto-fill is
off? (i.e. you type the characters and the cursor stays glued to the right
margin).
/* End of text from hcx3:comp.emacs */

Interactively,

	M-x set-variable<CR>truncate-lines<CR>t<CR>

Non-interactively,

	(setq truncate-lines t)

For the reverse, change t to nil
