Can I ask the next (minor) thing on my list of things I've
been living with for x years?

In text mode, if my file looks like:

aaaa
bbbb
cccc

Hitting enter at beginning of aaaa line creates a newline plus an indent of
8 spaces.  (my tab is only 4 spaces), but I didn't actually expect any
indentation at all here.

Hitting enter at beginning of cccc line creates a newline only (as wanted).

My workaround is to type "x" then hit enter, then go up and delete
the line with "x" on it.

What's the rationale and fix for that?

And one more.  If I cursor down in xemacs, xemacs doesn't
automatically start expanding the size of my file when I reach
the end, but emacs does.  How do I stop that?

Thanks.  Paul.
