SET RIGHT MARGIN
Sets the right margin of the current buffer for entering or formatting
text. (By itself, it does not change existing text.)
Example:
Command Purpose or effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SET RIGHT MARGIN 70 Sets the right margin at column 70. When EVE
wraps text, no lines go beyond column 70.
2. FILL PARAGRAPH Reformats the current paragraph, wrapping text
at the right margin of the buffer.
o The right margin must be greater than the left margin. The default
right margin is one column less than the width. Thus, if the width is
80 columns, the default right margin is 79. To find out the current
margins of the buffer, use SHOW.
o At startup, SET RIGHT MARGIN in an initialization file affects both the
main buffer and a system buffer named $DEFAULTS$. Buffers created
during the session will have the same margins as $DEFAULTS$. See help
on DEFAULTS.
o SET WIDTH makes the right margin of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer one column
less than the width, but does not affect the margins of other, existing
buffers. See help on SET WIDTH.
