Auto-indenting code

Auto-indenting code

[Gruumail]

I'm looking for a way to set up my .emacs so that emacs auto-indents my
scheme code. I can get it to go into scheme-mode when I load a .scm
file, but it doesn't auto-indent whenever I go to a newline. How would
I go about doing this? And also, where would I find a good,
user-friendly guide to elisp that would explain these things?

Thanks,
Ramesh

(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook
          #'(lambda ()
              (local-set-key "\C-m" 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)))

Also try pardit.el (search the wiki).

(info "(eintr)Top")

and

(info "(elisp)Top")

Hit C-x C-e after the closing paren.  The emacswiki is a great
resource for sample lisp code as well.
