How do i get emacs to show a 79 character line limit ?
#1
"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).
