That reminds me, if anyone knows how to force auto-fill-mode to
always, ALWAYS default to OFF, no matter what damn mode Emacs is in,
please let me know. I despise auto-fill mode, especially for things
like composing this email, where I may want to paste in long lines of
code.
Anyway, on the tabs thing. For GNU Emacs, I put the somewhat kludgy
code below into my "~/.emacs". That definitely worked for Tcl. I
believe the same could should also work for Xemacs, but I don't use it
there as one of my co-workers set up something slicker (which I
believe also uses indent-tabs-mode nil) in our site Xemacs config.
; TODO: There's a really simple one line command to set the default
; for ALL modes to indent-tabs-mode nil (and it works for sql-mode!)
; but I forget what it is!
;(add-hook 'tcl-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))
(defun kill-indent-tabs () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'kill-indent-tabs)

Hm, this is part of that Xemacs site config I mentioned, I think the
setq-default might just be the thing my comment above was saying I
forgot about:
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil) ;; disable tabs on indent lines
(defun kill-indent-tabs () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))
(dolist (hook '(emacs-lisp-mode-hook lisp-mode-hook c-mode-hook c++-mode-hook
tcl-mode-hook
sh-mode-hook fortran-mode-hook))
(add-hook hook 'kill-indent-tabs))
(defalias 'lush-lines 'flush-lines)
(defalias 'rh 'dictionary-search)
