	Both VI and Z have the same problem... namely that there is only one
type of 'tab'.  When you set tabs to 4 in either VI or Z, it writes out
to the file using the tab character but assuming it's 4 rather than 8.

	Rightly, you should either have two separate variables, or should
always write out files using tabs of 8 (i.e. translate the internal tab
format of 4 to the external format of 8 without effecting the apparent text).
