Emacs question

[Josh McKinney <forming@home.com>]

I have what seems like a simple question but has become tough to find an
answer.  I have been playing around with Emacs for a little while and have
noticed one thing thats really bothers me.  Why can't I tab(indent) a new line
in c-mode?  Basically when I open a *.c file and want to indent a line I hit tab
and nothing happens.  This is only is c-mode.  This also happens if there is no
.emacs file in the homedir also.

Thanks
Josh
