   That's for OXP.   
      
   This thread was about Winpoint.  We were discussing Winpoint's default     
   full-screen effect of the editor.  Then you mentioned the line length can     
   be modified.  I assumed we were still on a Winpoint trajectory.  :)   
      
      
    AA>> Can't we pretty much just resize the window to whatever we want?   
      
   (I was still talking about Winpoint above.)   
      
    MF>AhBut :)   
    MF>That adjusts the window size, it does nothing for the actual line length.   
    MF>Assuming the right margin is set to 74 in OpenXP and the window width is   
    MF>set to 70, the line length will still be 74 because the text will wrap at   
    MF>the window edge(column 70), IYSWIM :)   
      
   (..but you are talking about OXP.)   LOL   
      
   WRT OXP, yes... I like the many visual adjustments that can be made with     
   it.
