I'm confused.  It seems you are saying the behavior I am getting is off
by default, but I haven't done anything to turn it on yet I see the
behavior.

Also, I'm having  problems without hitting the tab key.  Is the behavior
from the enter key somehow bound to tab settings?

I've been editing SAS files in  plain text mode, which isn't great but
is less annoying than ESS SAS mode.
