Re: Emacs question
Probably because c-mode uses the tab key to enforce an indentation
style. Try opening a loop in C, then using tab on the next line: it should
be indented according to the looping level of the program you're
writing. Most programming modes (e.g., perl-mode, cperl-mode) do the same
thing to assist with figuring out how deep the looping levels go.
