I am having a problem with tabs in TML Pascal II.  The problem has
not been fixed by the recent version 1.1 update of TML Pascal II.
The problem is that lines containing embedded tabs are not displayed
correctly by the TML editor.  To check it out, I created a line
repeating the ten digits 1234567890 several times.  Then on the next
line place a tab, any character, another tab, another character, etc.
You will notice that the tabs do *NOT* position the characters
correctly (even if you select the Courier font which is mono-spaced).
When I called TML Systems about this, Vince Cooper said that this was
a problem in Apple's TextTool toolbox routines.  Is Apple aware of
this problem?
