What I specifically need is to make the indentation work in jumps of 3, (as in indentation of loops in programs) and by inserting the necessary number of spaces, whereas whenever the character '\t' (ASCII 9) appears in the text, it should reserve space up to the next multiple of 8 (as is the default in any display device), so that when I read files which contain tab characters, they should look the same as when I print them. If you have a solution / an idea, and you prefer to reply by email, please reply to porter3@taunivm.tau.ac.il and not to this address. Thanx in advance Nimrod (using a friend's login)
