WS> The first thing to ask yourself is...
WS>      Is it their already?

I looked and looked and was unable to find anything... including 
instructions on changing tab size or number of lines displayed per 
screenful of text.

WS> EMacs has a variety of TAB settings and screen sizes in each of its
WS> various "MODE" settings.

Interesting.  How can I determine which is applicable and how can I 
change the applicable parts.

WS> The TAB Ruler and Screen that you desire
WS> might already be built into one of EMacs standard MODEs.  Then it is
WS> a simple matter of changing editting modes.

That's what I couldn't find.
