Ben,
How do I specify the number of columns when using "C-x $"? It doesn't prompt, and doesn't seem to take the current column of the cursor position into account. Just echoes: selective-display set to nil. Same for using the command at the M-x prompt. I type "M-x" and see the M-x prompt, then then type "set-selective-display" using tab to autocomplete it. But I can't then type a column number after a space or in parens or anything. What am I missing?
