I have been trying to figure out how  to get emacs to format my code the way 
I want it and now have it so screwed up it doesn't act right at all.  How 
do I reset it back to defaults to start over?

Is this typical of using Emacs?  I want to program not spend all day 
learning an IDE.  Anyone have any tips to get me going quicker?

Thanks,


Glenn.

P.S.  I have already read the entire tutorial but it doesn't cover 
formatting code issues...
