FWIW its not "insert number of spaces" but "insert appropriate
space to line up with predetermined tabs". Thats what a "tab" is...
Tabs:
(I don't know how well this will work)
A B C D E F G
aa bb cc dd ee ff gg
111 222 333 444 555 666 777
(A[tab]B[tab][tab]C[tab]D[tab][tab]E[tab]F[tab][tab]G[cr]aa[tab]bb
etc)
the B,bb,222 should line up. The G,gg,777 should line up, but
Pegasus obviously has a bug in the 5th tabstop and something
happens...
