          202/4.  Globals

          201/This section defines a number of conceptual 203/global variables201/, which are
          referred to in the descriptions of NMODE commands.  These 203/globals 201/represent
          state information that can affect the behavior of various NMODE commands.
          The value of NMODE globals are set as the result  of  various  NMODE
          commands.

          202/Global Explanation: Fill Column

          201/The fill column is the column beyond which all the fill commands: auto fill, fill
          paragraph, fill region, and fill comment, will try to break up lines.  The fill
          column can be set by the Set Fill Column command.

          202/Global Explanation: Fill Prefix

          201/The fill prefix, if present, is a string that the fill paragraph and fill region
          commands expect to see on the areas that they are filling. It is useful, for
          instance, in filling indented text.  Only the indented area will be filled, and
          any new lines created by the filling will be properly indented.  Autofill will
          also insert it on each new line it starts.
          204/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
          202/Global Explanation: Goal Column

          201/The goal column is set or unset using the C-X C-N command.  When the goal
          column is defined, the commands C-N and C-P will always leave the cursor at
          the specified column position, if the current line is sufficiently long.
          204/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
          202/Global Explanation: Kill Ring

           201/The kill ring is a stack of the 16 most recently killed pieces of text.  The
          Insert Kill Buffer command reads text on the top of the kill ring and inserts
          it back into the buffer.  It can accept an argument, specifying an argument
          other than the top one.  If one knows that the text one wants is on the kill
          ring, but is not certain how deeply it is buried, one can retrieve the top
          item with the Insert Kill Buffer command, then look through the other items
          one by one with the Unkill Previous command.  This rotates the items on the
          kill ring, displaying them one by one in a cycle.
           Most kill commands push their text onto the top of the kill ring.  If two kill
          commands are performed right after each  other,  the  text  they  kill  is
          concatenated.  Commands the kill forward add onto the end of the previously
          killed text.  Commands that kill backward add onto the beginning. That way,
          the text is assembled in its original order.  If intervening commands have
          taken place one can issue an Append Next Kill command before the next kill
          in order to assemble the next killed text together with the text on top of the
          kill ring.
