It did the trick. It seems that the mode setting in per-file variables
sets the offset to 2. So I am done!
(I have not done much editing yet, and so if something comes up again,
I may  post again , but now I know more about the various settings and can
probably handle the rest.)

This is a new feature in 23.1, isn't it? I installed emacs 23.1 and
all is well now (!).

It has been years since I read Emacs manual from cover to cover.
Maybe I should again.  The per-directory variable section  in Info manual is
section 57 and so the whole manual has more sections these days. Maybe my
summer holidays are not long enough to read it through...
