My question is related to the following two: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/970292/emacs-multiple-columns-one-buffer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2588706/vim-configuration-setting-up-autocomplete-and-columns

I'm using MPage now in vim, and it works well even when I have more than two columns. How can I use follow-mode to mimic that behavior in Emacs, and have flowing code in more than two columns?
