Nothing really :)

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

Whatever :)

Yes .....

Config -> Options -> Editor -> Right Margin

Whatever value you put in there determines the maximum number of  
characters per line(default=74).

AhBut :)
That adjusts the window size, it does nothing for the actual line length.  
Assuming the right margin is set to 74 in OpenXP and the window width is  
set to 70, the line length will still be 74 because the text will wrap at  
the window edge(column 70), IYSWIM :)
