Perhaps someone could tell me how I can do this? (I'm sure I'm
not the first person who wanted this feature):

In text-mode I am writing something roughly like an outline
I have done edit-tab-stops to make tabs every four spaces
    I have indented lines like this
    I want to be able to press LFD to come back
    Here, as in indented-mode instead of the beginning of the line
	And when I have subindentations like this
	And want to go back one level,
    	I want to press a key which will bring me back
    Here, or else be able to press LFD as described above,
    Followed by a key which will move me back one tab level,
    Pretty much the same as Pressing C-d in vi with autoindent set
    	(which I used to do years ago when I used vi) :-)

Help much appreciated.
