So the more I use orgmode, the more I'm enjoying it.
I'm now learning how to export my notes into LaTeX and/or PDF. (I'm a
TeX user, so I don't know all of the intricacies of LaTeX, but I can
manage if I have to.)
Anyway, to the question.
When I have a long line in my notes, I keep it formatted like this for
easy reading:
*** This is a very long line which is way too long to fit on a single line
so I have it broken up into smaller lines so that I can read it
but still have the indentation lined up, so it's obvious (to me) that
this is all designed to be a single sentence.
There is a "hard return" at the end of each line, because using emacs's
standard word-wrapping would put the text into a left-aligned paragraph
and I lose my outline structure.
The coloring of the second through fourth lines doesn't match the coloring
of the first line, so it appears that Org considers this to be a
single-line headline with some supporting text underneath it.
When I export to LaTeX, that concept continues. The phrase
"This is a very long line which is way too long to fit on a single line"
is my headline, in big bold letters, while the rest of the text is
below it in smaller letters (formatted as a single paragraph).
Is there a way that I can specify, either to Orgmode in general or to
the LaTeX exporter specifically, that I want this to be considered
a single headline?
Alternative question -- is there a way that Orgmode (or emacs) can combine
line-wrapping with indent levels, so that if I were to write this all as
a single line, the word-wrapping would put the text in the correct column?

This looks pretty 'unidiomatic', so to say, better use

In other words, "Don't do that." :) Keep my headings short.
Fair enough.

I agree with Thorsen.
The Org syntax specify that headlines are one line. See
org-heading-regexp. That being said, I think you can mimic your
desired behavior with the following:
(progn (org-mode) (org-indent-mode t) (visual-line-mode t))
