      How does one change a pattern containing a tab character using MacWrite
or Edit? Typing a tab in the change window causes the cursor to toggle between
the pattern and replacement fields. Suppose you wanted to change all tabs to
spaces.... I have another editor from Manx that I could use if I get desperate,
but I don't like vi-type editors (nor emacs). Certainly finding/replacing
patterns with tabs is not beyond the power of editors "for the rest of us" -
I hope.
