\fIFmt\fR formats paragraphs in a text file to make the lines be approximately
the same width.  It preserves indentation and word spacing.  It is typically
used from within \fIvi\fP as in the example.  The default line length is 72
characters, \fBfmt \(en66\fP for instance would format text to a 66 character
line length.
