I've found that this isn't always enough. If you want a real tab, you usually have to get emacs to call the tab-to-tab-stop function, which means that you also need to reset your tab stops. I've found that rebinding tab to call tab-to-tab-stop, and setting the tab-stop list to '(4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80) can help get what I'm really after, expecially in text mode. Personally I find the default indenting in Emacs just plain broken. Why the hell can't tab just do what it's told? Mike -- Michael P.
