Ben,

How do I specify the number of columns when using "C-x $"?  It
doesn't prompt, and doesn't seem to take the current column of
the cursor position into account.  Just echoes:
     selective-display set to nil.

Same for using the command at the M-x prompt.  I type "M-x"
and see the M-x prompt, then then type "set-selective-display"
using tab to autocomplete it.  But I can't then type a column
number after a space or in parens or anything.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
--Fred
