Anyone have any tips to get me going quicker? What type of code are you writing? Are you using a certain major mode? If not, you should. Have you tried customizing the settings for that particular mode? - i.e., for Perl mode try M-x customize-group RET perl RET If you want quick, my advice is just get used to it the way it is. > Thanks, > > > Glenn. > > P.S.

I'm fairly new to emacs, but the time I've invested learning it has been well worth the effort. Matt -- Remove the X's to reply directly.
