In Emacs (or LEmacs) is there a way to format a lisp expression that
takes up multiple lines? What I mean is sometimes when I go back and
make a change to a defun or something, it would be nice to just hit a
key and have the defun reformatted with all the right indentation.
If it's capable of formatting line by line when you hit return, why not
all at once?
BTW, sorry if this is on the FAQ. I've read it but I don't remember seeing
this on there.

Select the region, then do indent-region. This works in Lucid Emacs
or FSF GNU emacs 18.xx or 19.xx, assuming you are in lisp-mode.
Comp.emacs is a good place for general emacs questions; use
alt.lucid-emacs.help for questions specific to Lemacs/Xemacs.
