"Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters." lots of my CLI windows are 166 characters wide. but i often edit python files there. i use emacs in a terminal window (the not-X version of emacs).
anyone know how to make emacs color the first 79 character spaces (backgrounds) differently? i do not want to be popping up new emacs windows. much of my co already has long lines (easy for
me to read).

what i would prefer to do is have to first 79 or 80 colums set with one background color and the remainder set with another color, like blue for 1-79 and magenta for 80-EOL. the character color should not be affected by this.

i liked forth. but i would have liked a cleaner one more. python is clean :dance: i may, some day in the future, try to make a stack language to play with based on python one way or the other (such as an interpreter written in python or a rewrite of one of the existing python interpreters ...
in any case to work in a python context).
