Chris,
I'll take a look into it. edsharp always told me about the indentation levels, 
but I can't really expect that with emacs, so I need to find another way to use 
it.
I do have a question re: emacs though that you'll probably be able to answer.
I want to set up multiple tabs of sorts so I can easily switch from file to 
file. Is this an easy possibility?
Thanks,
