Very nice. Thank you.

Nah, that's no fun* :) The current problem isn't nearly as important as
the general learning experience.
According to the help section for end-of-buffer,
point-max is the equivalent function I'm looking for.
Are there more functions like this? point-min? point-end-of-line? I
don't see them documented.
The help section for set-mark says to define your own variable instead
of using mark:
(let ((beg (point))) (forward-line 1) (delete-region beg (point)))
With return values, this could be written something like
(delete-region (point) (point-next-line))
So it sounds like changing point is standard procedure, but changing
mark is discouraged?
*This is what I've been trying to do (it seems to work now):
(defun indent-buffer ()
(interactive)
(indent-region 1 (point-max) nil))
