Right. In text modes, hitting tab will usually line the cursor up with one of the words on the previous line. If you want to tab to tab stops, use tab-to-tab-stop (M-i). If you want indented paragraphs, use M-x paragraph-indent-text-mode, or M-x paragraph-indent-minor-mode if you are in mail composition or something like this. Check out the Emacs manual for more detail on these concepts. I believe all the commands I mentioned are in the index. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
