 @cindex line wrapping
   If you add too many characters to one line without breaking it with

-The @samp{\} says that the following screen line is not really a distinct

   As an alternative to continuation, Emacs can display long lines by
-@dfn{truncation}.  This means that all the characters that do not fit in
