   This was probably covered before but...  

   How can I convert a WriteNow document to ASCII and still preserve
   the tabs and spaces?  I tried selecting the entire document and then
   pasting it into an Edit window.  This converts it to ASCII but removes
   the tabbing.  Is there something I could do to the document while
   it is in WriteNow?  Is there a filter to do this somewhere?

You could try saving it as ASCII text, then using the Unix unexpand
command.
