/ hpfcso:comp.emacs / bdo8650@cec2.wustl.edu (Bryan Dennis O'Connor) / 10:25 am  Oct 25, 1989 /

	I am a new user to GNU EMACS, (I used to be a die hard VI fan.) and I
had a few (probably stupid) questions:

	1)  Is there a way to force EMACS not to make backups?  (eg. file~)

	2)  Is there a way to set the number of spaces for a tab?

	I have looked for documentation on this but have been unable to find
any.  Thanks for your help.
