* http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VisualLineMode --very intereting...

** This may explain why you found no help thru google:

"Visual line mode is a new mode in Emacs 23 that is on by default."

* "The following code convinces visual-line-mode to wrap at a given column
by expanding the right margin of the buffer’s window. It’s worked pretty
well for me, although it depends on being the only one that fiddles with
the margins. --JamesWright

    (defvar visual-wrap-column nil)
    (defun set-visual-wrap-column (new-wrap-column &optional buffer)
....
etc.

** To use the original behavior put the following in your .emacs:

    (setq line-move-visual nil)
