Now this is *weird* :-)
This time I edited body of the function, in ~/.emacs, using emacs,
removing pieces, adding pieces (I'm not good at LISP!), just
experimenting, and resulted in the original function definition.
Now the two-space indentation works :-)
So I'll experiment with doubly- and triply-nested conditionals and see
if it works.
Thanks, it seems to be working!
