I run a (little old) version of emacs on my slackware 11. I had a problem in that usually in previous versions I put a (setq auto-mode-alist nil) in my .emacs file and get all to fundamental mode and tab stops every 8 bytes. To get this in this version is difficult because even in fundamental mode tab stops and indentation works different. I asked in this newsgroup and receive this answer: (setq indent-line-function 'tab-to-tab-stop) All works well up to now, but now I see that when I reach a certain column (perhaps 80?), tabs works already in a strange way. How can I resolve? 2. How can I get emacs to not wrap lines and not show the dollar sign at the right border as truncate lines do (in other words: how can I get it to work like windows notepad?) Thanks for your attention, tano
