I'm sure there is an easy way to stop emacs from chopping words off and
wrapping half over to the next column.  But for the life of me I cannot
figure out how to do this.

I have an old dumb ADDS Viewpoint terminal and emacs is the only editor I
have been able to use with it.  (The Viewpoint does some weird things like
the up arrow is a Ctrl-Z which the UNIX takes to mean as suspend 
>>frustrating!!<<)  This is no problem with emacs since i can just have 2
.emacs files with different maps -one for lab, one for terminal.

Anyway, I've been using EMACS for various papers as well as programs.  It
gets very tedious to fix paragraphs when a couple of words are changed at 
the top.

I'm sure this problem is easy enough, but I have no documentation (and spent
a couple hours with help unsuccessfully trying to locate a command).  I just
discovered this newsgroup and do not feel like tying it up with something that
is probably common knowledge to everyone else, so if you could just mail me
the answer I'd appreciate.

Thanks for any help in advance.
