Thank you very much for your response. My reply has been delayed
because I wanted to do some thorough testing before answering.

I thought I had, but I must not have done so, or had the syntax
wrong. I tried:
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode )
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'paragraph-indent-minor-mode)
This gave me the desired results in mail mode, but not in text
mode, even though M-x describe-variable text-mode-hook returned:
(turn-on-auto-fill paragraph-indent-minor-mode text-mode-hook-identify)
Since text-mode-hook is supposed to be run whenever text mode
starts, paragraph indent mode *should* be invoked when text mode is
started.
Then I changed .emacs to include:
(setq default-major-mode 'paragraph-indent-text-mode )
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'paragraph-indent-minor-mode)
This works as I want it. However, M-x describe-mode mentions the
auto-fill-function minor mode, but doesn't list 'paragraph-indent
minor mode. But as long as it works, I don't care!

I tried this in .emacs, and get this error message on startup:
turn-on-paragraph-indent-minor-mode-my: Wrong number of arguments: #[nil
"\301\300!\302\300!L\236\250\301\303!^HL\236\250\304\305!\236\247"
[paragraph-start make-local-variable default-value paragraph-separate
run-hooks paragraph-indent-text-mode-hook] 3 1411592 nil], 1
You had said "Better yet, i suggest". Is there any reason the
function (if debugged) would be preferable to first suggestion? Since
it works for me, I don't care if the function doesn't do it. ;-)
Thanks again. Now I can get rid of emacs 19.
Regards,
Bob
