There is no tw/textwidth in vi -- use wm/wrapmargin instead. Set it to
the width of your right-hand margin to auto-wrap text. (For example: set
wm=8 to wrap at 72 columns on an 80-column screen.)
vim and other vi clones should be the same. :)
You can also use "fmt" to format lines instead of gq-whatever -- there's
no need to install par, though it is more powerful than fmt.
For example, in your .exrc:
map v {j0!}fmt -w72<ctrl-v ctrl-m>
This makes "v" reformat the current paragraph to 72 columns. It ought to
work on any variety of unix or a unix clone, with vi or any vi clone.
