i suppose you already know that you can specify any width for fmt w/ "-#" or "-w #" (on freebsd), say "fmt -70". in vim, width for "gq" depends on "textwidth" variable (and perhaps 'wrapmargin' too). you can set that w/ "set tw=70". fmt is very inadequate, compared to 'gq', when it comes to wrapping of quoted lines. just try it, you will see. - parv --
