And anyways, C-x h C-M-\ comes automatically after C-x C-f source RET Just add this to your ~/.emacs : (add-hook 'find-file-hook (lambda () (indent-region (point-min) (point-max)) (pop-mark))) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PURCHASERS: The entire physical universe, including this product, may one day collapse back into an infinitesimally small space.
