So you add other arguments to pass to fmt (for carriage-return
character is missing).(?)

Do you find vim's internal wrapping functions to be inadequate?
Just curious.

In my case, "gq*" commands work just fine except when it comes to
putting each line, of a text block, in center.  Then i use...

   "  center block with in 68 columns
   nmap  <Esc>E  !}/usr/bin/fmt -c -68

For anybody else who is still reading, '<Esc>E' works as described
above except the formatting point is the line containing the current
position of the cursor.
