    I believe vim does the same. I use it exclusively for C/C++, Perl,
    HTML, etc. Autoindenting is included in pretty much all "full
    featured" editors, isn't it?

    Looking through the vim shared directory (/usr/local/share/vim/vim63/)
    I found that there are CHANGELOG syntax and filetype defs. Perhaps
    it's similar to the emacs mode.

    I'm going to look through the filetype.txt file
    (/usr/local/share/vim/vim63/doc/filetype.txt) to see what it supports
    out of the box.

    Thanks again.
    Lou
