Re: formatting lines of text within a rect

[Pete Lee]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.  The only problem I've seen 
with it so far is you can't copy/cut the contents of a rectangle if you are 
operating in emacs mode vs. cua.  And I dont like the cua mode.  But other 
than that it does what I need.
