Hi Ken,

I don’t think it is unusual to take a few hours just to get started
with WL, unfortunately.

My advice is to never edit your ~/.folders file by hand. For some
reason many tutorials seem to suggest doing this. I don’t know
why. All the functionality is available in the WL folder manager, and
then you don’t have to worry about the syntax of the ~/.folders file.

M-q is emacs for wrap paragraph.

best, Erik
