it's messages like this that make some of us go run to the
mirrors to see if indeed we do exhibit such integrity.
and we do. and we're glad. we don't think about it very
often, so it's nice to be reminded of it.
which is part of the reason, i'd bet, we use linux.
glad to have you with us.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #62 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Wouldn't it be nice to SEE YOUR TABS WHILE YOU EDIT? With Vim,
you can do this with
:set listchars=tab:+-,trail:$
:set list
and format them via ":highlight NonText ...". (See ":help listchars"
and ":help highlight" for more info.) Put them in your ~/.vimrc if
you decide you like that setup.
