Being an emacs user by nature but an edit user by convenience, I had the  
same kind of problem with the indentation (I wanted my tabs in edit and  
emacs to match...)

Generally we like 3-space indentation, ie:

	- foo:bar
	   {
	   return [bar [mumble:self]];
	   }

Easy to do in edit... And in emacs with the little bit of code in your  
~/.emacs (kudos to Mike Matlack):

	(setq c-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq tab-width 3)))

Happy coding...
