hi Jeff.
try this ...
to prevent emacs from using tab characters for indentation:
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode 'nil)
to indent 4 spaces in text-mode:
(defun four-space-tab-stops ()
"makes [tab] do tab-to-tab-stop instead of indent-relative"
(setq tab-stop-list '(4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68
72 76 80 84 88 92 96 100 104 108 112 116 120))
(local-set-key [tab] 'tab-to-tab-stop)
)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'four-space-tab-stops)
-- christian.
