Hey, spot on.  Yes, John.... this is the biggest problem in
following your advice.  I've done just this, but I find that
if I have to make any changes to my paragraph, then I spend
fifteen minutes retyping everything, or cutting lines off
and pushing the forward delete button.  And then it's so
frustrating when you want to add *another* sentence. Maybe
I'll change it to format to 50 positions and see what happens.
But then, it might not allow me to print indented block
quotations.
