Very nice.  Thank you.

Nah, that's no fun* :)  The current problem isn't nearly as important as 
the general learning experience.

According to the help section for end-of-buffer,
point-max is the equivalent function I'm looking for.
Are there more functions like this?  point-min?  point-end-of-line?  I 
don't see them documented.

The help section for set-mark says to define your own variable instead 
of using mark:
    (let ((beg (point))) (forward-line 1) (delete-region beg (point)))

With return values, this could be written something like
    (delete-region (point) (point-next-line))

So it sounds like changing point is standard procedure, but changing 
mark is discouraged?

*This is what I've been trying to do (it seems to work now):
(defun indent-buffer ()
   (interactive)
   (indent-region 1 (point-max) nil))
