In most modes do:

		M-x auto-fill-mode

Works just the way you want (default breaks lines at 70 chars).  You
can change this value with the 'C-x f' command.  For example, to set
the width to 40 chars, you would say:

		C-u 40 C-x f

(I assume that you already know that C-u is the way to give a
numerical argument to a GNUEmacs command).
