+@cindex Indentation, how to customize
+@cindex Customize indentation
+
+The Emacs @code{cc-mode} features an interactive procedure for
+customizing the indentation style, which is fully explained in the
+@cite{CC Mode} manual that is part of the Emacs distribution, see
+@ref{Customizing Indentation, , Customization Indentation, ccmode,
+The CC Mode Manual}. Here's a short summary of the procedure:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Go to the beginning of the first line where you don't like the
+indentation and type @kbd{C-c C-o}. Emacs will prompt you for the
+syntactic symbol; type @key{RET} to accept the default it suggests.
+
+@item
+Emacs now prompts for the offset of this syntactic symbol, showing the
+default (the current definition) inside parentheses. You can choose
+one of these:
+
+@table @code
+@item 0
+No extra indentation.
+@item +
+Indent one basic offset.
+@item -
+Outdent one basic offset.
+@item ++
+Indent two basic offsets
+@item --
+Outdent two basic offsets.
+@item *
+Indent half basic offset.
+@item /
+Outdent hal basic offset.
+@end table
+
+@item
+After choosing one of these symbols, type @kbd{C-c C-q} to reindent
+the line or the block according to what you just specified.
+
+@item
+If you don't like the result, go back to step 1. Otherwise, add the
+following line to your @file{.emacs}:
+
+@lisp
+(c-set-offset '@var{syntactic-symbol} @var{offset})
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+where @var{syntactic-symbol} is the name Emacs shows in the minibuffer
+when you type @kbd{C-c C-o} at the beginning of the line, and
+@var{offset} is one of the indentation symbols listed above (@code{+},
+@code{/}, @code{0}, etc.) that you've chosen during the interactive
+procedure.
+
+@item
+Go to the next line whose indentation is not to your liking and repeat
+the process there.
+@end enumerate
+
+It is recommended to put all the resulting @code{(c-set-offset ...)}
+customizations inside a C mode hook, like this:
+
+@lisp
+(defun my-c-mode-hook ()
+ (c-set-offset ...)
+ (c-set-offset ...))
+(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+Using @code{c-mode-hook} avoids the need to put a @w{@code{(require
+'cc-mode)}} into your @file{.emacs} file, because @code{c-set-offset}
+might be unavailable when @code{cc-mode} is not loaded.
+
+Note that @code{c-mode-hook} runs for C source files only; use
+@code{c++-mode-hook} for C@t{++} sources, @code{java-mode-hook} for
+Java sources, etc. If you want the same customizations to be in
+effect in @emph{all} languages supported by @code{cc-mode}, use
+@code{c-mode-common-hook}.

@section How can I make Emacs automatically scroll horizontally?

@cindex Horizontal scrolling
* Problems with very large files::
* ^M in the shell buffer::
* Shell process exits abnormally::
+* Problems with Shell Mode on MS-Windows::
* Termcap/Terminfo entries for Emacs::
* Spontaneous entry into isearch-mode::
* Problems talking to certain hosts::

@end lisp
+The above solutions try to prevent the shell from producing the
+@samp{^M} characters in the first place. If this is not possible
+(e.g., if you use a Windows shell), you can get Emacs to remove these
+characters from the buffer by adding this to your @file{.emacs} init
+file:
+
+@smalllisp
+(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'shell-strip-ctrl-m)
+@end smalllisp
+
On a related note: If your shell is echoing your input line in the shell
buffer, you might want to try the following command in your shell
start-up file:
stty -icrnl -onlcr -echo susp ^Z

+
+@cindex Shell Mode, and MS-Windows
+@cindex @code{explicit-shell-file-name}
+On MS-Windows, this might happen because Emacs tries to look for the
+shell in a wrong place. The default file name @file{/bin/sh} is
+usually incorrect for non-Unix systems. If you know where your shell
+executable is, set the variable @code{explicit-shell-file-name} in
+your @file{.emacs} file to point to its full file name, like this:
+
+@lisp
+(setq explicit-shell-file-name "d:/shells/bash.exe")
+@end lisp
+
+If you don't know what shell does Emacs use, try the @kbd{M-!}
+command; if that works, put the following line into your
+@file{.emacs}:
+
+@lisp
+(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
