	I have two slightly technical questions that are seemingly   
related.... here goes:

	1)  How can I change TABS in DME (v1.38) to be more Tab like.  
	    Such that when I hit tab in the middle of a line it moves the
	    line from that point over to the next tab stop?  I tried using
	    SPLIT TAB JOIN and it works except when there is white space
	    involved.  Any suggestions?

	2)  I used the EXECUTE function in v1.31 to call Lattice v5.05 by
	    doing a EXECUTE (LC -L ($filename)) and it would send the 
    	    output to the console window for reading error messages and
	    all.  In v1.38 it does not do this, it sends it to the NULL 
	    device.  (therefore I can't read the errors... not that I
	    ever have them :-)  ).
 	    Any ideas on how I could get it back to the console window?

	2b) What advantage would AREXX be in the above situation?  I know
	    that it is a macro script language but I have never heard of
	    any really awesome useful uses.  (Like in the above case).
	    Does anyone else use DME and Lattice?

	Thanks..  
		Bryan.
