Hello Carlos,

Place the following in your $HOME/.jedrc:

   % format all paragraphs in a file with the internal Jed function
   % format_paragraph ()
   define format_paragraphs ()
   {
      push_spot_bob ();
      do
        {
           go_right_1 ();
           ifnot (looking_at ("\n"))
             call ("format_paragraph");
        }
      while (bol_fsearch ("\n"));
      pop_spot ();
   } 
 
   setkey_reserved ("format_paragraphs", "q");  % format all paragraphs

In the emacs emulation, that would translate to ctrl-c q

If you want to have control over where in the file formatting should
begin, just omit the first and last lines in the above function.

HTH,

Morten
