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.

I just tried this with Emacs 20.2. 19.22 is *really* old. I don't
have that version, so I can't reproduce this. I suggest that you
upgrade and try again. Emacs 20.2 has a nifty user-friendly
configuration utility which means that you don't have to learn Lisp to
be able to configure Emacs.

I like both kinds of music.
