    * There's something strange with the way tab works in emacs. In cc

tabs back!

It's not strange at all if you know what function the TAB key is bound to. In cc-mode, it is c-indent-command, and in lisp-mode (the scratch buffer's mode) it is lisp-indent-line. (C-h k TAB tells you this - very useful!)

What you want is probably tab-to-tab-stop, which is usually bound to M-i.
