Vi can't do it by itself, but it can easily pipe the paragraph through
a formatting program.

If you put the following line in your .exrc file, you can type "V" when
the cursor is anywhere in a paragraph, and the entire paragraph will be
rejustified by being piped through "fmt".

	map V   0}!{fmt^M}

Note: the ^M above represents an actual carriage return.  You will need
to type "<ctrl-V> <return>" when editing the .exrc file.
