I am trying to learn Emacs. I have GNU Emacs 22.3.1 for Windows, and I have some questions. I noticed that there is a word wrap feature, so that if a line in the file won't fit on the screen, the rest of it is displayed on the next line. That is nice, but I'm wondering if I can customize it. I want to make it so if the line is indented with spaces or tabs, the continuations will also appear indented, instead of starting all the way on the left side. Also, I am trying to change the display font. I go to Options and Set Font, and pick the font (Lucida Sans Typewriter), then go to Options and Save Options, hoping that the font will be saved. However, the next time I start emacs, it is set to Courier New for some reason. Is there any way to save the font? Thank you.
