It's not that unfriendly, and it seems to be the same way other modes define indents. They don't seem to be doing it with tab-width either. So maybe you should ask the Emacs developers why? I don't know, I think Kurt just followed the lead of the other modes when he first wrote the Octave mode. jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
