M-x apropos truncate gives me: default-truncate-lines Variable: Default truncate-lines for buffers that do not override it. truncate-lines Variable: *Non-nil means do not display continuation lines; truncate-partial-width-windows Variable: *Non-nil means truncate lines in all windows less than full screen wide. -Israel Pinkas -- -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.
