Thanks for all hints. I was thinking in having really something like
a line on the terminal to get a visible bounder on typing (and not only
line wrapping); the closest is that :syntax match WarningMsg /\%>70v.*/
(thanks Christian);
also 'eterm' as replacement for 'xterm' comes into my mind, because one
can load images a background into the terminal...
Thx anyway to all
