Fred Hansen mentioned that EditText, the precursor to Andrew had tabs. What he did not mention is that there has, historically, seemed to be code sharing between ATK and the older versions. Nick Williams and I have been going through style.c and various parts of the text object. We've come across something very interesting: TAB SUPPORT. It's there, but was never finished. From our preliminary research, it shouldn't be too hard to finish it. Does anyone remember way, way back in the past, the code was completely supported in style.c, but never connected through text? Was it a memory hog? A time hog? Dropped due to lack of time? We plan to find out.... You will CERTAINLY hear of our results. Does anyone else want to play too? -wdc
