As others have pointed out somewhat cryptically, you pipe it through an
external command that does the actual formatting. Apart from the rather
primitive "fmt", there is also "par" (the textproc/par port), which
allows you to specify the filling strategy, justification, quote
recognition, etc in excruciating detail. Alas, it was written by a
mathematician, and the manual is somewhat incomprehensible. (Well, it
should be fine for Terry.)
