[AUCTeX] fill-column settings

[Geoffrey Smith]

Hello,

I use Emacs and AUCTeX to edit my LaTeX documents on a Windows XP machine.  To 
fill my screen, I have set my fill-column setting to 120 by inserting the 
following line in my .emacs file: (custom-set-variables '(fill-column 120)).

To get Emacs to respect my fill-column setting, I am always having to hit M-q 
to tidy up my paragraphs.  Is there any way to solve the problem of having to 
hit M-q all of the time?  Is there a way to have Emacs just do word-wrapping 
like other LaTeX text editors do?

Thanks!
