Hi again.
I send the msg below a few weeks ago, and got a reasonable response from Ross Glover.
However, I'm still convinced that I would prefer to try orgmode with different word wrapping.
I'm looking for a way to get orgmode buffers to be in visual-line-mode and org-indent-mode only.
That is, I'm looking to turn off truncate-lines and auto-fill-mode.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Much obliged.
Cheers.

Hi,
I'm new to org-mode (though I've been a causal emacs user for more than 10 yrs).
I'm running org 7.4 on the current Aquamacs, and I prefer larger than normal windows (120 col x 36 rows).
The problem is that org seems to do hard auto-fill linebreaks regardless of window size.
I have honestly looked everywhere I can think of for a solution.
The only thing I've figured out is that if org buffers seem to be set to org-indent-mode, truncate-lines, auto-fill-mode, and visual-line-mode.
I seem to get the effect I desire if there's only visual-line-mode and org-indent-mode.
I can set these via the menu, but I want this to be the global org way.
So the question is:

How can I turn off truncate-lines and auto-fill-mode globally for all org files?

Cheers.
