Advice or > pointers to some Ms to Fing R would be much appreciated :). Leave your tabs alone (no one setting is universal to all apps) and instead set your tabstops as preferred. E.g.: tabstops=4 in vim will give me a 4-space indent. If I have noexpandtabs set, one tabstop is 4 spaces, two tabstops is a tab. With expandtabs set, all tabs become spaces. Use another means to achieve uniform document/file appearance. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
