Ming> How can I fill a paragraph and leave a tab before each line?

First Way:

	Insert a TAB into the text.  Execute M-x "set-fill-prefix" and
	it will look at everyting that is on the line before the point
	and make that the fill-prefix (in this case a TAB).  That is
	how I got this paragraph to fill with a TAB.

Second Way:
	Insert the following lines in a .el file customized for you:

	(auto-fill-mode 1)
  	(setq fill-prefix "	")
  	(setq fill-column 72)
