Below is a macro to break a line at around character 68. I map it to "K" to be analogous to "J" which joins two lines. So I can format a paragraph with a bunch of "J"s followed by a bunch of "K"s. But there are a few deficiencies somebody might be able to fix. It always splits off at least the last word of a line. It doesnt know about tabs. setenv EXINIT 'set ai|map K 068lF r Dan LaLiberte liberte@cs.uiuc.edu uiucdcs!liberte

This runs the fmt command on the next paragraph. If you don't have fmt you could write it in half an hour I think. Leo.

Try getting the 'ff' source from an archive site, since it will do all the formatting that 'fmt' will do, plus alot more. I use that on my 5.2 systems that don't have fmt.
