Gee, even IBM has acknowledged that tabs belong on every 8 positions.
In VM/SP/CMS's XEDIT is the EXPAND subcommand that expands out the tabs
to proper positions.  There is also COMPRESS with puts tabs in, and in
the proper place.  I use these commands to handle files received from
non-IBM systems with tabs.  Everything has worked out fine.  Now I just
need a way to get square brackets on my IBM 3178 keyboard.
