Making a RichTextBox output a certain amount of characters per line.

Ok, I am wondering how do I set the amount of characters per line that a richtextbox will have. I have a save dialog code and i want to set the characters to 64 characters then goto another line and save it like that. Right now when it saves a line of text, say 128 characters, it puts it all in 1 line. I would like it to split the line into two lines in the output .rtf file.

' Create a SaveFileDialog to request a path and file name to save to.
Dim saveFile1 As New SaveFileDialog

' Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extension for the file.
saveFile1.DefaultExt = "*.rtf"
saveFile1.Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf"

' Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
If (saveFile1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) _
And (saveFile1.FileName.Length) > 0 Then

' Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
RichTextBox1.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName, _
RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
End If
