 @node Minor Modes
 @section Minor Modes
 If the first line of a file contains two occurrences of @code{`-*-'},
 XEmacs uses the information between them to determine what the major
 mode and variable settings should be.  For example, these are all legal:
 @example
-	;;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*-
+;;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*-
-	;;; -*- mode: postscript; version-control: never -*-
+;;; -*- mode: postscript; version-control: never -*-
-	;;; -*- tags-file-name: "/foo/bar/TAGS" -*-
+;;; -*- tags-file-name: "/foo/bar/TAGS" -*-
 @end example
 For historical reasons, the syntax @code{`-*- modename -*-'} is allowed
 as well; for example, you can use:
 @example
-	;;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
+;;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
 @end example
 @vindex enable-local-variables
 The variable @code{enable-local-variables} controls the use of local
 variables lists in files you visit.  The value can be @code{t},
 all major modes except those that have their own overriding local
 definitions for the same key.  Or you can change the current buffer's
 local map, which affects all buffers using the same major mode.

 @findex global-set-key
 Here are some examples of programmatically binding keys:
 @example
 ;;;  Bind @code{my-command} to @key{f1}
 (global-set-key 'f1 'my-command)
 ;;;  Bind @code{my-command} to @kbd{Shift-f1}
 (global-set-key '(shift f1) 'my-command)
 ;;; Bind @code{my-command} to @kbd{C-c Shift-f1}
 (global-set-key '[(control c) (shift f1)] 'my-command)
 ;;; Bind @code{my-command} to the middle mouse button.
 (global-set-key 'button2 'my-command)
 ;;; Bind @code{my-command} to @kbd{@key{META} @key{CTL} @key{Right Mouse Button}}
 @cindex redefining keys
 After binding a command to two key sequences with a form like:
 @example
-	(define-key global-map "\^X\^I" 'command-1)
+(define-key global-map "\^X\^I" 'command-1)
 @end example
 it is possible to redefine only one of those sequences like so:
 @example
-	(define-key global-map [(control x) (control i)] 'command-2)
+(define-key global-map [(control x) (control i)] 'command-2)
-	(define-key global-map [(control x) tab] 'command-3)
+(define-key global-map [(control x) tab] 'command-3)
 @end example
 This applies only when running under a window system.  If you are
 talking to Emacs through an ASCII-only channel, you do not get any of
 these features.
 @cindex rebinding keys, permanently
 When you start Emacs, it normally loads the file @file{.emacs} in your
 home directory.  This file, if it exists, should contain Lisp code.  It
 is called your initialization file or @dfn{init file}.  Use the command

 At some sites there is a @dfn{default init file}, which is the
 library named @file{default.el}, found via the standard search path for
 libraries.  The Emacs distribution contains no such library; your site
 may create one for local customizations.  If this library exists, it is

 Starting with XEmacs 21, XEmacs uses the class @samp{XEmacs} if it finds
 any XEmacs resources in the resource database when the X connection is
 initialized.  Otherwise, it will use the class @samp{Emacs} for
