Hi Jim,
Whichever file you are working with, do 
C-u 80 C-x f RET.
>From this point on Emacs will break line (i.e. create a new line)
anytime you press the spacebar after 80 characters on any line.

You could also find more details by typing C-h k (describe key vbinding)
and then C-x f RET.

Hope this helps.
