   Nothing really :)

   Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

   Whatever :)

    AA> Line length, as in the number of chars across?  Where?   
      
   Yes .....   
      
   Config -> Options -> Editor -> Right Margin   
      
   Whatever value you put in there determines the maximum number of     
   characters per line(default=74).   
      
    AA> Can't we pretty much just resize the window to whatever we want?   
      
   AhBut :)   
   That adjusts the window size, it does nothing for the actual line length.     
   Assuming the right margin is set to 74 in OpenXP and the window width is     
   set to 70, the line length will still be 74 because the text will wrap at     
   the window edge(column 70), IYSWIM :)
