Emacs is great for writing Lisp. Now, if only I could find the correct
.emacs invocation to make the tab key insert a tab character in C
mode, rather than a bunch of spaces the way His Holy Lunacy RMS
desires. If I wanted spaces instead of tabs, I'd type them!


And yet since every damned editor inter= prets a tab differently, I'd almost with the tab key away completely :-= )

I guess we just make everyone use Acme and move on :-).=
