I ran into a strange problem I can not fix.  the left-margin variable in my
emacs does not work no  matter what I  set it  to.   I do M-x  set-variable
left-margin    1 and it does    not  recognize  it.  Putting  (setq-default
left-margin 1) in the .emacs file does not do anything either.

Thanks for any ideas.
