PS: Nikodemus, in which error messages would you insert newlines?
1. In all ones over ~70 characters long. Exact point doesn't seem that important, but less than 80 at any rate. 2. In ones that have potentially long ~A or ~S bits in them I'd do "Mumble mumble:~ ~% ~S~ ~%mumble some more." or similar. "Potentially long" includes all pathnames and pathname designators, lists, and all objects that may have user-defined PRINT-OBJECT methods -- or perhaps more practically, anything that may contain newlines or isn't virtually guaranteed to print as a dozen characters or less.
