Nothing, it's just not implemented in your version of Emacs. There is some indentation support but it's seriously broken (it think that awk is just like C, so it works a little better if you make your awk code look like C by placing semi-colons at end of commands). The Emacs-CVS code has improved support for awk-mode right now and the soon-to-be-merged CC-mode-5.30 will provide a complete rewrite of awk-mode with proper indentation support. Stefan
