One other nasty thing about the indent that comes with 4.2 and/or Gosling's Emacs is that it automatically inserts a newline after a semi-colon thus encouraging you NOT to comment your code.

I agree that there should be a note in the manual pages if a UNIX* utility alters its input file. Exploring and trying things out is a great way to learn, and it should not be stifled by fear of destroying things of great or even minor importance. -- john -- aka John Dilley, [ihnp4] !hpfcla!jad.
