Hi,

	When I write a text file I hit tab and write the rest of the paragraph
while it wraps, and them I press enter.  Instead of letting me tab in
and wrap to the beginning of the next line, emacs instead wraps to the
previous tab.  Is there any way to tell emacs that I want it to let me
format paragraphs with a starting indentation and only a starting
indentation?

Thanks,

Dan

This format is now called indented-text-mode, I think.

I think indented-text-mode is the old name of the current
default text-mode, whereas the new name of the old default
text-mode is paragraph-indent-text-mode.

Thank you.  Excuse me while I bang my head on the wall for a while.
