	A little more information on your situation and what you're
trying to accomplish would probably enable me to give you a better
answer.

	One answer is that emacs' auto-indenting behavior is governed by
the major mode you're in.  emacs guesses which major mode to use base on
the file extension, and possibly 'file variables'.

	You can change the major mode by using a M-x *-mode command.
The particular command that would turn off all auto-indenting by virtue
of being a dead-simple major mode is this:

M-x fundamental-mode

Have fun (if at all possible),
