soft returns in emacs?

Question

How do you disable soft returns in emacs?

Answer 1

Have a look at: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LongLines

By default, soft returns are automatically inserted as you edit, to keep your text wrapped. If you do not want this effect, set ‘longlines-auto-wrap’ to ‘nil’. You can still type ‘M-q’, or use any of the other fill commands, to fill text using soft returns (see FillParagraph.)

Answer 2

Aha! [M-x toggle-truncate-lines] is what I was looking for.

Thanks for the help though.
