OK, I'm getting frustrated with xemacs persistently trying to think it's
being smart and fixing my indenting and such. It also kept beeping at me
once for something about a non-matching if statement. All I want is a
text editor, not a C++ assistant!

How do I turn off or disable any attempts at xemacs trying to be helpful?

Thanks!

You could also try using xedit, pico or gvim.

Add these to your .profile:

alias xemacs=gvim
alias emacs=vim

=)

Have fun,

I know this is not an answer to your question but could pico, vi, ed, or vim be
a solution to your problem if all you require is a text editor.

Also in xemacs you might want to
Use `setq-default' instead, since `tab-width' is all-buffer-local.

You might to read some of the xemacs-faq.info-* files under the /software/xemacs/info
directory for more information
