Another thing: Just because I may have 2048 pixes of horizontal space available on my monitor, that doesn't mean I want to devote all of them to displaying a single source file. I like to be able to put 2 or 3 source windows side by side, or have a web browser showing documentation alongside while I work, etc. While the limit doesn't have to be exactly 80 chars, something not too much bigger is a good idea for a variety of reasons. -- Greg
